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
Purchase price and shipping cost shown below. Please mention the title of the piece when ordering. Payment needs to be in United States funds. Payment can be with money order, personal check (shipment after check clears) (email for address information). Contact me for secure online credit card payment options.

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.

This painting shows Ennis doing something the tight-lipped cowboy rarely does in the movie, smile. The companion piece to SNIT.

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.
