* Original Reactive Paintings on Steel are fashioned by harnessing the physical processes of nature to create unparalleled works of beauty. Oxidative reactions between various paints and acids and the steel substrate are integral to the final outcome.
* Paintings are sealed with an anti-yellowing clear automotive finish to protect the painting.
* Original paintings are touchable. Most, but not all, have a textured finish which varies by painting.
* Most all originals employ a hanging edge on all four sides on the rear of the painting to allow for hanging in any orientation desired: right side up; sideways; or upside down. Some may come with a wooden frame instead of an integrated frame. In that case, the frame will be shown in the additional thumbnails. Wooden frames are not weather resistant.
How do I hang a steel painting? I recommend using a z-bar to hang your painting for these reasons: it is very secure; you have the ability to reposition a painting along the z-bar; it solves the situation where a stud may not be exactly where you want to hang your painting; and it allows you to hang your painting in any position you want. Z-bars can be purchased on-line through various sources. Since I am required to wire my paintings to meet gallery display requirements, you will receive your original painting wired for hanging on a nail with a picture hanger. I just prefer the z-bar method for reasons I listed. If you choose the z-bar method, you will need to remove the wire first.
Can I put my painting outside? Yes, but I recommend you keep it out of the elements, and out of direct sunlight, such as under a covered porch.
How long do they last? Indefinitely. Your painting is on steel and has an automotive coating, so like an automobile the lifespan will depend on the conditions that your painting is subject to.
