How do I purchase an original painting?Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing an original painting. If the painting is available you can pay either by credit card, personal cheque or international money order. Gallery prices do not include postage. This is dependent upon the size, weight and destination of the piece in question and is individually calculated once you have decided to buy. All paintings are dispatched with full insurance and handled by a professional courier.
If you are interested in a painting that is currently in my 'IN PROGRESS' gallery please contact me. Any such painting can be reserved until it is finished and you will be entitled to 'First Refusal' on the piece before it goes into the 'FOR SALE' gallery.
All the paintings displayed in my galleries are ready-framed and this is included in the price.

What is a giclee print?Printed artwork made using a specialized ink spray process ( giclee is a French term meaning "to spray"). Giclee prints typically provide sharper images and better colour definition. Both the ink and archival paper onto which the giclee image is transferred offer up to 70 years light-fastness and UV-resistance under appropriate display conditions (SEE BELOW).
All my giclee prints and greetings cards are printed on either 308gm Hahnemuhle 100% rag or 225gm Somerset Enhanced 100% cotton art paper.
How do I look after my prints?In general your prints and watercolours will do best in a moderately heated, stable environment. Always hang your artwork out of direct sunlight as sunlight is the main culprit in the degradation of both watercolour paintings and printed images. If you live in a very humid region using air-conditioning or a dehumidifier can help to preserve your artwork.
How do I look after my paintings?As with prints your oil painting will do best in a moderately heated and stable environment. Extreme heat can cause the properties of many art materials to change. For example, sudden shifts between hot and cold can cause oil on canvas to expand and contract, cracking the paint slightly in the process. Keeping the temperature reasonably stable eliminates this cracking. Oils painted on board are more stable but humid or damp conditions should still be avoided.
What is an Artist's Proof?The term for those prints which are produced when the rest of the edition has been printed and are for the artist's personal use. A typical edition will include about 10% artist's proofs. They are always designated with "A/P" to differentiate them from the numbered editions. In general an Artist's Proof is more valuable than a Limited Edition given that there are only a small number available.
What does Limited Edition mean?A maximum number of a particular print that will ever be created. The edition size is fixed before printing and once an edition has sold out no more will be produced. Limited Edition prints are made and numbered in succession with the individual number and edition size usually being recorded together such as 12/250 (print number 12 out of an edition size of 250). Typically a Limited Edition Print cannot be reproduced in any other printed format that would degrade it's value (such as a greetings card). It is, however, permissible to use the image in a book or in the Artist's own promotional literature.
Unlike Limited Edition Prints open editions are not numbered and there is no limit to the number issued.
What is copyright?Copyright gives an automatic right to exclusive ownership of artistic effort and this right is respected worldwide via international conventions. In simple terms this means that copyright belongs exclusively to the original artist, in this case, David Miller, David Cowdry, Andrew Evans or Roz Nathan. Under current UK law protection in all forms of copyright exists for the life of the artist plus a further 70 years. Copyright can be transferred from one party to another but this generally involves a limited use of the work: for example, as a print or a greetings card design - transfer of copyright does not give the buyer the right to use the purchased image in any other format other than the one agreed.
Copyright infringement carries very heavy penalties and the onus is on the defendant to prove that he did not copy if he has had the opportunity to do so.
If you wish to reproduce all or part of an artwork and you are not absolutely sure that you have the right to do so, you must obtain written permission from the original artist before proceeding.
How do I commission a painting?If there is something in particular that you would like that you cannot find in my galleries - a favourite animal or a specific scene - I would be happy to discuss a commission. Most budgets can be catered for!
Please contact me for details.
