POLICIES AND DISCLAIMERS

ONLINE COLORS VS. ACTUAL PAINTING: 
Colors of the artwork online can appear slightly different than the actual painting.  The colors that you see online will depend on your screen’s resolution and calibration.  Please keep this in mind prior to purchase. Photos online have not been filtered or enhanced unless the image does not fully represent the accuracy of the painting in person.

​

REPAINTING:
Upon request, I am able to repaint some of my work.  Those circumstances are:  
Some of the 11th Street series can be repainted on a larger scale, onto gallery wrapped canvases that do not need framing
If there is a painting that you are interested in and it sells, I can typically repaint a new original similar to the sold painting.  If I’m able to repaint a painting, please take note of the following:

• Your painting will be created very similarly to the painting you originally saw, in the same style and colors.

• You will receive the same quality and finishing as the painting I am repainting.

• I will not be copying each brushstroke from the original; your painting will be created spontaneously, just as the original one was, with fresh and vibrant new energy

• Your Painting will have its own unique brushstrokes, as brushstrokes are impossible to repeat 

• Your original piece will be a one-of-a-kind painting, created for you

• Before sending, I will send you a video and images of your painting for your approval

• Most re-paintings will be completed within 7-10 days of receiving your payment.  After the painting is complete, it will require drying and varnishing time of 10 days

• Total time to repaint is approximately 17 – 20 days
   

ARTIST’S SIGNATURE:
Michelle’s abstract paintings are typically not signed on the front; instead, they are typically signed on the side or rear of the painting, to allow the owner to decide the orientation of the painting when hanging.

If you are sure of the orientation that you will hang the painting, upon request, and free of charge, Michelle will sign the front of the painting for you either in the left or right lower corner.

​

CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY:
Each painting will be accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.  If you re-purchase any paintings created by Michelle Thomas, please ask the original owner for their COA, to prove its authenticity.

SALES TAX:
Purchases may be subject to sales, use, excise and other tax in some jurisdictions. It is THE PURCHASERS responsibility to ascertain and pay all taxes due. If you are claiming exemption from sales tax, you must have the appropriate documentation on file with Conduit 12, prior to the release of the property.
