Mary's Art

Louisiana Folk Art
by Mary Crochet

Originals

Each painting sold is an original and therefore slight variations from the picture may occur. This enhances the value of the piece, and definitely is not a flaw.

Authenticity

A signed Certificate of Authenticity is shipped with each piece.
The Certificate states:
  • The approximate width, thickness, and height of each wood piece.
  • Canvas pieces when used.
  • Recycled materials when used.
  • The paint used.
  • Authorization of Mary's agent and includes contact information.
  • Certification that the piece is not a print and will not be sold as a print. It is not one of many, but an individual piece.

    Her paint brush created this very piece. For example, Mary may paint 100 "Egrets in the Swamp" paintings, but each one is painted by her hand and has the individual 'signature' of itself.

    Mary is grateful for your business and firmly believes anyone who is generous enough to spend their hard earned money on her art
    deserves an original painting.

    Media
    Mary specializes in painting on wood much the same, as was done long ago when canvases were not readily available to the simple folks of south Louisiana.

    Size is Approximate

    *Wood sizes are approximate. Very close, but approximate.


    Frames
    Mary's art is sold unframed. This keeps the prices low and enables the customer to choose just the right frame for the art, if any.

    Display it
    Some paintings can and sometimes do come with a
    hanging apparatus already on it.

    Sometimes a thin painting may have two holes drilled with a wire to hang. This is a quaint method of hanging and is very popular. If you should want to frame the piece, these tiny holes would be covered by the frame.
    Cypress is unique in every way. We add a hanging wire when possible.

    Murals
    Mary creates original Louisiana scene murals. *Restrictions and special conditions apply. Email for more information.

    Delivery Time

    The pictures you see on this site are 'stock photos' of Mary's work, for lack of a better term. Mary will paint your picture just for you, at the time of order. Unless we tell you differently, it should be mailed out within a week of your order. Most times much quicker. Please remember, these are originals. Mary is very good at what she does. You'll be very pleased.

    Shipping and Handling

    Buyer pays shipping and handling.

    The art is packed and shipped with the utmost care. We ship USPS Priority Mail for domestic orders and Airmail Parcel Post for International orders. We have found this to be the best methods to use to insure prompt delivery of un-damaged products.

    For shipping to addresses outside of the continental United States, please email us with the shipping address and we'll let you know the shipping and handling fees and will discuss customs requirements. Again, buyer pays all shipping and handling costs including duties and such.

    Customer Satisfaction
    While all sales are final, Mary is very serious about customer satisfaction. These are not just words. She'll bend over backwards to see that the customer is happy with their new piece of art.

    Please feel free to contact her with any questions or concerns. She will do her best to make you, the valued customer, happy.

    Refunds
    All sales are final. We advise insuring the package as we cannot be held responsible for damage done by another person or company.

    Having said that; if something is wrong with your order when it arrives, please don't hesitate to call us. We'll do what we can to make it right!
