You will be directed to a larger view of your selected painting, including a brief description of the painting, its subject, the story behind it and a short biography of the artist. Select payment method from the choices offered. Allow up to ten days for delivery, but remember, it will be faster if you use our PREFERRED PAYMENT method detailed below. Once your financial institution has cleared the funds to AAA’s account, the artist will contact you directly to arrange delivery.

Shipping Costs

We examine all returns on a case-by-case basis in order to determine who is responsible for paying all costs (shipping and customs) required to deliver the artwork back to the artist. Generally, if we determine that the artwork was accurately described on our site (in terms of size, materials used, weight, etc.) and the buyer is returning it as a result of buyer’s remorse, then the buyer is held responsible for return costs.

If we conclude that the artist misrepresented the work (either in the photograph or in the description), failed to disclose important information about the work, or if the artwork was damaged as a result of poor packaging, the buyer will not be responsible for shipping and customs costs.
