Once an order is placed and your images are received, your piece can be created. Each painting is done by hand on a high quality canvas that is 1-1/2" deep, so it needs no framing. Because every piece is made per order each has unique qualities that make it one of a kind-not the least of which is your child's face. Using your image(s) the face is printed using archival quality ink and transferred to the canvas. You should receive your art in approximately 4-6 weeks from time of order.
