Why these sell

Popular paintings sell because they read clearly from six metres away

The pieces people keep ordering all share one thing: a single strong subject that still makes sense across a room.

Buyers often worry a best-seller will look common. In practice the opposite happens, because each canvas is hand-painted rather than reproduced. Brush direction, paint thickness and the exact edge of a colour shift are decided at the easel, so two paintings of the same subject are never identical. What you are really buying from a popular piece is a composition that has been hung in hundreds of Australian homes and proven to work.

Measure before you fall in love with a size. Above a three-seater sofa you want roughly two-thirds the sofa width, which usually means 120cm or wider, and hang the centre about 145cm off the floor. Portraits can go smaller but need breathing room, so resist crowding them with shelves. Pull one colour out of the painting into a cushion or a vase and leave the rest of the room quiet. Matching every tone flattens the whole thing.

Questions people ask

Is this a print or a real painting?

A real painting. Every piece is hand-painted in oils on canvas by a professional artist. Nothing here is printed, and nothing is a print with paint dabbed on top.

How close is it to the original?

Very. Our artists work from high-resolution references of the original and match composition, colour and brushwork. Because it is painted by hand, no two are identical, which is rather the point.

What sizes can I order?

Seven standard sizes, from 60 × 50cm up to 200 × 135cm, and custom sizes on request. Open the size guide on any painting to see each size to scale next to a sofa.

Framed or unframed?

Your choice at checkout: stretched and ready to hang, rolled in a tube, or framed in floating, classic or ornate frames. A floating frame adds a few centimetres each side; an ornate frame adds roughly 8 to 12cm.

How long does it take?

21 to 28 days, because it is painted to order. Delivery is free and tracked anywhere in Australia.

What if I don't love it?

Thirty-day money-back guarantee. Tell us within thirty days of delivery and we will make it right or refund you.
