Shipping
Original Paintings
Oil paintings take a very long time to dry, so it may be necessary to add an additional couple of weeks for shipping if the paintings are not done drying at the time of purchase.
All originals are wrapped in protective paper and plastic and shipped in a sturdy bao with PLENTY of padding. Shipping rates vary by size. I ship via USPS, FedEx, or UPS, and work arrives 2-4 days from ship date.
Work larger than 48" on one side can either be shipped via freight or unstretched with stretcher bars included in the box for a lower rate (stretching can be done at your local framer for approximately $100-200).
Prints and paintings less than 24" on one side will be charged between $7 and $30 in shipping, depending on the size of the work and order. Larger paintings will cost between $89 and $145 to ship if shipped stretched. I purchase additional insurance on any original painting over $250, just in case.
Prints
Prints are shipped either in a flat mailer or rolled in a tube. Utmost care is taken in preparing prints for packaging. The cost of shipping a print is between $7 and $30.
Florida Tax Rote
Florida collectors will be charged a 7.5% sales tax at checkout.
International
International rates are calculated at check out, and can be hard to predict based on customs and border considerations. Prints are $25 to ship internationally. Originals vary by size (noted at checkout). If more or less is required to ship, I will credit or invoice you directly prior to shipment. These can be hard to predict and I appreciate your patience. Please contact me with any questions!
Ownership
Kristin Cronic owns the rights to the art, including all sold originals and commissions. The collector may not reproduce her art without written permission. If the art is reproduced in media, please give Kristin Cronic credit. Art may not be resold or redistributed without her written permission.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR INVESTMENT
Your painting is forever!
I take great care to ensure best practices for producing a permanent painting, including careful attention to long lasting mediums and lightfast colors. I primarily paint with Gamblin and Williamsburg Oil Colors, both excellent quality and long lasting.
I offer complimentary varnishing and use Gamvar by Gamblin, which is removable with proper solvents, and protects the painting from dirt and damage. With these protocols in place, your painting will last.
Lightfast pigments are advertised to even be able to withstand direct sunlight, however, it’s generally advised to minimize harsh sunlight as much as possible.
COMMON SIZES
Sizes depend on what feels right: Typically between 9”x12” and 20”x24”
FRAMING IS INCLUDED
Framing is included! Standard frame options are listed on each. If you’d like an upgrade, you can purchase it with the listing. Because frames are ordered after a sale, it takes 2-3 weeks for paintings to ship.
Prints
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAPER, ROLLED CANVAS, AND STRETCHED CANVAS
Work on paper is the most affordable, and should be framed under glass orplexiglass. But just because its paper doesn’t mean your print won’t last! The giclee printing process and fine art papers help your print last for years.
Rolled canvas is the next step up, gives the feel of canvas, and should also be framed or mounted.
Stretched canvas comes with black edges and can be made ¾” or 1.5” thick, and can be hung without a frame (although they look great in floater style frames!)
