Frequently
Asked Questions
Due to the limitations of scanning and digital photography the actual painting
or illustration may look slightly different from the represented photo, the
actual art will look much better, sharper and more crisp than the photo.
I will not hold a painting without receiving payment for
it. Painting is sold to first party I receive payment from. Payment
procedure is exactly like payment for an auction on eBay and just as secure.
The advantage to purchasing from the web site is that prices are similar to
eBay and the identity of the purchaser is not made available to the public or
recorded in feedback history. Purchases from outside the United States
are accepted - payable in United States currency. All the work I have available
on the web site can be seen by non-United States residents, none of it is blocked.
Purchase
and Payment

Pricing
The listed price is an argument between the cost of producing the piece (labor,
material costs and overhead costs) versus what the market will bear. Prices
are determined in the same way any business must determine price. The prices
listed on this page are lower than what they would be if sold through a gallery
or third party since the purchase is made directly from the artist.

Regarding
a recent painting purchase:"WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just opened the package
and .... WOW!!! Its's GREAT. The on-line pic posted is nice, but when it's in
your hands .... WOW! I am sending it to the framer in the morning and when it
comes back it will be hung next to the RC Gorman."
"I'm humbled
and thrilled and damn-near speechless! I don't know where to begin. I
think I'm most excited about the print of "Top of the World"! I love all of
them, of course, but I think you did the best job of capturing Heath and Jake's
faces in this one. Jake's look of unadulterated bliss is pure perfection. Heath's
obvious joy is awesome. They both radiate masculine sexuality. If I keep writing
right now I'll soon run out of exclamation points and sound like a silly school
girl. All of them far exceed my expectations and I couldn't be happier."

Torn Paper
- The Parting Glance
A unique, unusual and emotion provoking rendering of the parting scene
after our boy's sheepherding job on Brokeback Mountain ended. I used the
"torn paper" motif (the image has the illusion of torn paper
floating above the surface) and placed two different scenes side by side.
The two panels offer the opportunity to show what Jack is seeing in his
truck's side view mirror and his reaction to watching his stoic and stubborn
Ennis walking out of his life. Unique from my other paintings, I hand
lettered the title on the painting. (The watermark seen on the larger
view, does not appear on the larger painting.)
Acrylic on
a canvas panel. Coated with a satin finish varnish. Painting can be framed
without mats or glass for a oil painting like look.

of the image floating over the surface. The title is hand-lettered on

This painting shows Ennis doing something the tight-lipped cowboy rarely

and be aware that the appearance of scans will very from computer to computer.

Male
Fantasy Group Scene Series
This series goes back to the days when I first started offering
my artwork on the web, to the days when I signed some of my work as R. Chris,
many dating from around 1999 to 2000. A number of my pieces then were fantasy
male group scenes, which were very well recieved. The scenes involved lockerroom
scenes, skinnydipping scenes and the like. These were something like story paintings,
in that the paintings seemed to suggest a story. Comments I received about the
paintings praised them for being gently and intellectually erotic, without being
blunt or crude, depicting the beauty of the male image in an everyday setting.
