Emerald MERMAID fine art print fairy fantasy

This "Emerald Mermaid" watches you intently from her watery world, wonder what she is thinking? 

Title: "Emerald Mermaid"

Description of Product: "Emerald Mermaid" is now being offered as an open edition fine art high gloss print.  These lovely reproductions were made from the original creations. This GLOSSY PRINT is created on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of highest quality glossy photo paper (for more information on my printing process, see below). The actual image itself measures 8 x 10.  There is a small white border which has been left for ease of matting and framing or you can just hang them on the wall as a poster!  Each print comes in an acid free protective sleeve for protection and each print is shipped against foamcore backing for support.  Shipping and Handling in the US is $3.00.  Shipping and Handling to international buyers (anywhere outside US including Canada) is $4.00.

You are purchasing this print directly from me, the self-representing artist and creator of this piece.  You are NOT purchasing this fine art print from a dealer or reseller.  If a fine art print is not in your budget, this image is also offered as an art trading cart print.  You may also check my other categories to see if this image is available as another less expensive item such as a 5x7 glossy print, greeting card, etc. 

About my Prints:  To tell you a little about my glossy fine art prints...As stated above, each print is a reproduction of the original painting.  To make a reproduction of this high quality, a lot of thought and labor goes into this process.  I first print out the image.  I then study each 8x10 design carefully, searching for flaws, smudges, etc, and I correct them.  After this process, I reprint the image and study it yet again. Sometimes, but not often, I might have to digitally enhance a spot or two in the image to make the reproduction as similar to the original as I can physically make it.  As my fans know, I use a lot of pinks and purples in my creations and oftentimes, it is hard to make these colors pop out like they do in my paintings without a little help from computer technology. :O)  Last, but not least, the print is reproduced on premium plus glossy photo paper, extra brilliant, gallery select or ultra photo paper, basically the highest quality photo paper, and NOT everyday glossy photo paper or similar.  Each image is also printed with inks made for that specific printer, i.e., if printed from a Canon printer, only Canon inks are used.  I DO NOT use less expensive compatible inks.  This assures me that I am producing the highest quality product that I can for my fans, because first and foremost, I must be satisfied with the print before it is offered.  As a matter of fact, if you have a favorite image, yet do not see it available as an 8 x 10 print, then it DID NOT pass my inspection to be offered as an 8 x 10 print.  However, you may browse my 5x7 glossy print section to see if the image is available there, as sometimes the smaller the image, the better it looks and it may have passed my inspection for that category.  Usually all of my images are available in the art trading card prints.          

About Use of Internet Photos: Colors may vary with your monitor. The copyright watermark is not on the actual print, this is just for internet purposes.  Due to sizing issues with online picture hosting services, etc, the image is not blurry as it may appear here.  The colors are also much brighter and bolder.  My art is always much better in reality than what I can post here on the internet.  As described in the About my Prints section, you are getting a quality print. 

Additional Information:  I am simply an artist trying to make a living off my artwork and if in fact you order one of my products and are not satisfied, you may ship the merchandise back to me and I will gladly exchange it for something else or give you a refund, but please keep in mind that with a refund, you will only be given for the amount given to me and this excludes PayPal fees to you or me for the return.  I also do not pay for the item to be return shipped to me.  I also am not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged mail, i.e., refunds for returns will not be given if merchandise is damaged or lost in the mail.  I take extra care in shipping my prints against sturdy foamcore backing to prevent damage.  Refund will be given once merchandise has been received back in my studio.       

Special Note of Thanks: I would also like to take a moment to personally thank my fans for all of the support you have given me over the last 5 years.  Gosh, I can't believe I have actually been on eBay for that long.  For those folks who are my newest fans, I would like for you to know that I truly welcome your patronage.  When I first came to eBay 5 years ago, I was on merely a crusade to sell my art to pay the fees for my autistic son's special school that he was enrolled in.  Luke is now progressing fine or as good as we could hope.  Now after all this time, my art has seemingly flourished into a small business that I had originally not anticipated and I want to thank ALL of my fans past, present and future for allowing me the opportunity to take a favorite past time to an all new level, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Note About Autism:  Please never ignore the warning signs of this disorder.  Approximately 1 in 150 children are born with autism.  Early detection with early intervention is the best key to help your autistic child progress in today's world.  Autism can be detected as early as 18 months of age.  As a parent of 3 children, 1 of which is a child diagnosed with autism, learning that your child is autistic is very difficult to cope with, no matter what the degree of autism it is, whether mild, moderate or severe, but with early intervention, support of other family members and friends, or even support groups, it can make living with someone who has this disorder perhaps a little easier.
