Dr. Carter’s Office is one of the Arkansas historical buildings from the late 1800’s that can be found on the grounds of the Shiloh Museum of Ozark history. Previously it was located in Elkins but was relocated to the Springdale museum. I used every color in my palette to create this painting.

This 12 x 16″ painting is on Arches watercolor paper. The colors, with the exception of the blue, are all light-fast Ozark earth pigments. While the blue is stable, it may not be permanent unless kept away from UV light exposure. With protection it can last decades, but may eventually fade to no color at all.

The painting is framed in distressed white wood currently, but the price listed here is not including the frame. The frame will be included free of charge if the buyer pays shipping.

I will ship anywhere, but there is additional postage to ship framed anywhere, or unframed to any location outside the US. Refunds or guarantees for artwork shipped internationally do not include postage for framed work. Domestic shipments will be insured and signature required. If this painting is purchased in person at a show or private review, the frame is included at no extra charge.

Prints

All of my prints are processed in house with a professional giclée art printer using archival inks. The paper is archival watercolor paper for high quality prints.
