Re: Questions about a painting

Dear

If the painting had a width of 12 feet the height would be 12 feet 6 3/3 inches. While we could do this, shipping of such a large piece becomes extraordinarily expensive as the usual courier limit is around 10 feet for the tube we'd deliver it in.

How about the size 9 feet by 9 feet 5 inches? We could ship that and remain within the courier's limits. For the record, a painting with the size 9 feet by 9 feet 5 inches would actually be on canvas 9 feet 6 inches by 9 feet 11 inches, as we include a 3 inch blank border around the painting to help with framing.

Could you let me know what the painting is to be used for, and whether it is ultimately to be framed or mounted? Larger pieces we've done in the past have occasionally been attached directly to the wall (such as in churches...we did a piece 9 feet by 20 feet for a church in Chicago a few years back!). If I have a clearer idea of the intended use I may be able to make recommendations on the size of painting and canvas.

Thanks,
James

Questions: I would like to order this painting on canvas 12 feet wide whatever the corresponding length would be. Is it possible to print this large on canvas? thank you

Thank you for your reply! This painting will be framed for use in a private residence. I will ask them if they would be willing to go a bit smaller on the painting as I'm not sure how large they will want the frame. In the meantime, could you please still give me a quote on both the 12 ft. size and the 9 ft. size? I understand shipping will be quite a bit on the 12 ft., but if you could give me a price for shipping as well so my client can make the ultimate decision, that would be great! Also, I'm just confirming that these paintings are actually painted and not printed on canvas? Thank you for your help!
