Each painting is finished with conservation in mind such that the painting will last many, many years. Before shipping, each painting is carefully inspected and prepared for shipment. It is gently wrapped in glassine/non-stick paper and taped closed. Each painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity that includes information about its creation, and an embossed seal. The package will also include shipping and return information, if needed. (Shhhh! Every painting also gets an "easter egg" surprise for the collector - you'll love it!)
