 Frequently Asked Questions

Louisiana Folk Art
by Mary Crochet

Originals

Each painting sold is an original and therefore slight variations from the picture may occur and to be sure this enhances the value of the piece.

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 often paints on wood much the same, as was done long ago when canvases were not readily available to the simple folks of south Louisiana.

    She also paints beautifully on canvas. Please note the Special Listing area for information on these paintings.

    Size is Approximate

    *Wood sizes are approximate. Very close, but approximate. Canvas sizes and styles will be detailed with each listing.


    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 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.

    Information on this will be detailed in the individual listing.

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