From Blank Canvas to Finished Painting
There’s something beautiful about starting a new painting. Every piece begins pretty much the same way: with a blank canvas, a spark of an idea, and the simple question: What wants to live here? Today I wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes look at how each original painting moves from a vague idea to a finished piece ready to find its new home.
Art Prints vs. Original Art: What’s the Difference?
If you’ve ever browsed my shop or followed along with my art online, you’ve probably noticed that I offer both art prints and original artwork. I often get questions like: What’s the difference? Is one better than the other? Why are originals more expensive?
The short answer is that neither option is “better,” they’re simply different, and each one offers its own kind of value. Whether you’re a seasoned art collector or someone looking to buy your very first piece, this post will walk you through what makes prints and originals unique, and help you decide which one might be right for you.
