Question 1

How accurate are the images online?

Accepted Answer

All photos are of the actual paintings taken with a DSLR camera, however due to various lighting changes and computer and phone screens, might look a bit different in person.   It's also very difficult to capture all the 3D texture and effects with the resin to display on a flat screen, not to mention the super glossy finish of the resin that reflects any light! Photos of finished paintings with resin are bound to have a few light reflections. If you would like to see a painting from more angles or with different lighting, just get in touch.   You are welcome to visit Geoff's studio to see any painting in real life.

Question 2

Can I choose a different frame for my original painting?

Accepted Answer

Yes!   Geoff normally choses a black or white frame but you are welcome to have a different frame.   Any frame can be swapped for a different standard frame at no extra cost. Other frame styles and colours are also available but may require an extra payment.   Changing the frame will mean your order takes extra time to be delivered - a few days for a standard frame or up to 3 weeks for a frame that has to be ordered - we will let you know how much longer this will take.   All framing is done to a very high standard by Geoff's sister Elaine at Beckett Framing Co

Question 3

Can I buy an original without the frame?

Accepted Answer

All website prices include the frame - but if you want to have it reframed at your local picture framers, you are welcome to purchace without frame, with a discount for the full cost of the frame.   Just get in touch and we will let you know the price without frame.   Geoff's acrylic and resin originals are painted on board and not very suitable for hanging without a frame.   Please note - for any originals on sale we will not be able to offer a full discount for the frame.

Question 4

Can I see the artwork before buying and/or collect it in person?

Accepted Answer

Yes!   All originals on this website are currently available and kept at Geoff's home studio. You are welcome to visit to have a closer look at any and/or browse, with no commitment to buy. Card payment facilities are available for any purchases.   The address is 1 Cross O'th Hill, Malpas, Cheshire SY14 8DQ.   Please contact us to arrange a date and time

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Original paintings will dispatched within 2 working days and will be delivered via a 24 hour courier, unless you would like a different frame.

Question 7

Are original paintings safe being posted?

Accepted Answer

Yes - we have a lot of experience wrapping paintings safely!   Geoff's originals also have no glass to break.   While we can't absolutely guarantee how couriers handle work you can be sure that we will resolve any problems as quickly as we can.

Question 8

How do I care for pictures with a resin finish?

Accepted Answer

Resin is an integral part of Geoff's originals. It is a very high quality, UV resistant resin. If it gets dusty you can clean it with a window cleaning spray and a soft, lint free cloth. Although it is very strong it can be scratched so requires a bit of care!

Question 9

Tips for hanging artwork

Accepted Answer

Geoff's acrylic and resin originals are very durable and fade-resistant, but as with all artwork it is best to keep them out of strong direct sunlight and away from radiators and damp walls.   Make sure the hooks are secure! All framed artwork comes with cord fixed and ready to hang. We actually like to use 2 hooks with larger paintings - about a third of the way in from the frame each side - this helps to keep the painting nice and straight.

Question 10

How long will prints last without fading?

Accepted Answer

All paper prints are very high quality giclee prints using acid free rag papers - if kept out of direct sunlight they will easily go 100+ years without fading.
