I partner with FineArtAmerica.com for a variety of print options, including canvas prints, metal prints, acrylic prints, framed prints (with a variety of frame and matte options), wood prints, and greeting cards. Their canvas prints are museum quality, and are hand-crafted at one of their global production facilities using premium cotton / poly canvases, pine stretcher bars, and archival inks.
No, the watermark will be removed from the photo when you order a print.
Currently, I only frame paintings that were made on canvas board, as there is no way to hang them on a wall without a frame. These items are shown with the frame that is provided in the item photos. Paintings on stretched canvas have black edges and come pre-wired, ready to hang on your wall. Alternatively, you can choose to frame your stretched canvas painting - simply take it to a frame shop or Michael's for the custom frame of your choice.
