Art Buyer Guide: Originals & Fine Art Reproductions

Discover the difference between an original painting and a Fine Art Reproduction at LwoodScapes. Both celebrate artwork by Laura Fay Wood Cavaliere, but the materials, presentation, documentation, and fulfillment differ.

Original Paintings

Each original is a one-of-a-kind acrylic painting on canvas by Laura Fay Wood Cavaliere, signed on both the front and back. Originals are sold unframed and are currently unvarnished. Every original includes a Certificate of Authenticity and printed artwork care instructions.

Laura Fay Wood Cavaliere personally handles the preparation and fulfillment of original paintings. Local pickup is available by prior arrangement.

Current catalog examples: Summer Shade — 16 × 20 inches, $1,200.00 USD; Clematis Bloom — 9 × 12 inches, $1,141.00 USD. Each original has a fixed size.

Fine Art Reproductions

A Fine Art Reproduction is a printed reproduction of an original artwork, rather than the original hand-painted canvas. Reproductions are made to order using archival-quality materials. They are not currently limited editions. Artist signatures and Certificates of Authenticity are not currently standard for reproductions.

Laura Fay Wood Cavaliere’s professional photographer and print provider produces and ships reproductions directly to customers. Production and preparation for shipping may take up to two weeks, depending on size and framing. Delivery time is additional.

Our fine art reproductions are professionally produced using high-quality archival paper or canvas with pigment-based inks. Matted paper reproductions include archival-quality, acid-free mats and backing boards. Canvas reproductions typically receive a UV-resistant protective spray for additional protection and longevity.

Formats

The catalog offers paper prints with mats, stretched canvas, and stretched canvas with a black frame. Available combinations vary by artwork. Check the individual product’s size and format selections before ordering; not every artwork offers every framed size.

Sizing and Prices

Fine Art Reproduction sizes listed in the catalog include 9 × 12, 11 × 14, 12 × 16, and 18 × 24 inches. For paper prints with mats, the listed overall sizes are 14 × 18 inches for the 9 × 12 and 11 × 14 prints, 16 × 20 inches for the 12 × 16 print, and 22 × 28 inches for the 18 × 24 print. Distinguish the print size from the overall matted size when planning your display.

Prices vary by artwork, size, and format. For example, Summer Shade Fine Art Reproductions currently range from $565.00 to $935.00 USD, and A Simple Morning Fine Art Reproductions from $502.50 to $872.50 USD. Refer to the selected option on each product page for current pricing.

Documentation and Care

  • Do not use water, cleaning solutions, or sprays directly on the print.

Stretched Canvas Reproductions
