Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at dkirkmanart@hotmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
YES, you can buy either my original paintings or Limited edition prints through my shop. However, if an original painting is represented by a gallery you will have to purchase the piece directly from them or their website.
Only local delivery within 20 miles of Rochford, Essex is included in the price. If delivery is outside of this area but within the UK then there will be an additional cost.
To ship internationally please provide a postal address so I can provide the cost.
I use reputable courier companies and insure all paintings for transit.
If you change your mind after you have paid the 30% non refundable deposit then this amount will not be returned. I ask for a deposit to cover my upfront costs and as confirmation that you want me to proceed with the painting.
All paintings are sold unframed unless otherwise agreed or stated.
Yes, all my paintings are signed on the reverse so that it doesn't influence how you hang it. Unless you request differently.
No worries, all you have to do is email me the title of the painting you like and provide details of you preferred colour pallette. Please note due to the fact that my paintings are abstract and original I cannot produce the exact copy of the piece you like but will create a piece in the same style.
All you have to do is email me with your desired style, colour palette and size. I will then confirm these details and if you are happy I will ask for the 30% deposit to be paid. When the painting is complete I will email you pictures and you can request any changes. Once you have confirmed by email that you are happy with the final painting, I will request that the remaining money is paid. Once received I will send the painting to the address you provide.
All my paintings are insured and well packaged. If however there is damage then I ask that you email me photos of the damage within 7 days of receipt of the painting. I will then contact the couriers. As long as photos are sent and received within 7 days I will provide a replacement painting. I have not had a painting delivered damaged as yet.
