When we started this company, it dawned upon us that we are in the unique position to provide museum gallery artwork quality for discount prices. That concept eventually became the foundation for our online company - we take pride in spreading the joy of beautiful, high-end oil paintings to the budget-conscious consumer.
Since we are the direct source of your original, heirloom-quality oil painting, with no 'middle man', no mall or boutique rent and no commissions to pay, we pass our savings of up to 70% on straight to you. The artwork is the same impeccable quality you would find in upscale museum galleries, but without the exorbitant costs normally associated with museum gallery pricing.
In this way we fulfill our mission of making fine art available to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.
We email high-resolution photos of each painting to you for approval before shipping. Changes can be requested and will be made by the artist. This process will be repeated until you are happy. Once the painting is sent and you receive it, you still have 30 days to return the painting under our 100% money back guarantee. A full refund is provided and you won't be charged any shipping costs.
We take deep pride in exceeding our customer's expectations, and our delivery of your oil painting is just as carefully crafted as our fine oil paintings. We are proud to offer 100% FREE shipping to anywhere in the world on both purchases and refunds (two-way free shipping).
We're not like other online companies who charge an arm and a leg for shipping. Our goal is to provide you peace of mind. When it comes to shipping your order - don't worry, we've got you covered.
Our trusted partners such as FedEx, DHL or EMS speed your heirloom-quality oil painting reproduction from our warehouse to your doorstep - no matter where it is you may call home.

Self Portrait with Braid
by Frida Kahlo
Self Portrait with Braid - Description
Frida Kahlo’s Self-Portrait with Braid was completed in the year 1941. A work of oil, it depicts the beloved Mexican surrealist in her typical position directly in the center of the foreground. It is a close-up shot of Kahlo whose face appears to envelope the entire composition. Observe how aside from the vegetation surrounding her body, there is nothing in the background except for a built up layer of color washed in an off-white overtone in Self-Portrait with Braid. The tone compliments Kahlo’s complexion and garments, the giant maroon braid atop her head “popping” magnificently against the background. Kahlo is positioned sitting tall and proud, a testament to her personal struggles against injury and disease. Around her neck hangs a necklace bearing trademarks of the traditional indigenous Mexican style, interestingly painted to look like boulders. As burdensome as it might be to wear boulders around your neck, Kahlo appears to be a pillar of strength and beauty, wearing them so fashionably as to convince her viewer that they are of style and grace rather than tremendous weight. Likewise, the vines appear to wrap around her naked upper torso creating the question of whether or not they are trapping her. Regardless, she wears the vines with graces as well and they merely serve to compliment the great knot of hair fastened to the top of her cranium.

“ I'm an interior designer and purchasing from CheapOilPainting just makes the most sense. ”
-Sarah Berkins, Free Spirit Designs
Here are five great reasons to commission a hand-painted oil reproduction instead of buying a print:
Authentic Museum Gallery Look, Feel, and Smell - there's nothing like seeing the energy and texture of beautifully rendered, hand-painted oil. The smell, the patina, the play of light across the surface, and the intrinsic value deliver a much richer experience than the look of a flat, dull print.
Unique Custom Artwork - you can have your heirloom-quality oil painting done to your specifications; a custom made work of original art.
Timeless Beauty - beautiful, high-quality oil reproductions lasts for generations without fading, tearing, water staining or discoloring the way prints do.
Long-Term Value - oil paintings tend to hold their value longer than mass-produced commercial prints, so you'll be making a smarter investment.
Family Treasure - you'll have an original, one-of-a-kind, heirloom-quality oil painting for generations to come, showing class and prestige.
Each and every painting that leaves our facility is fully guaranteed to be painted 100% by hand or we promptly refund your money. Our highly trained professional artists take the time to make sure that every hand painted masterpiece truly reproduces museum quality artwork on canvas. In fact, we're so confident in our craftsmanship that all of our oil paintings are backed through our 30-day money-back guarantee.
If you're not entirely satisfied with your oil painting purchase, please call our courteous and professional customer support team right away and we'll refund your money immediately - no questions asked. We are committed to delivering premium customer service and your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us.
You may be wondering why we offer canvases of differing sizes. We've answered some of your most common questions below:
"Why offer sizes different from the original?"
Your available display-space may work better with a canvas size suited to the location you have selected for your heirloom quality reproduction. By offering you a choice of painting sizes, you can better accommodate your personal interior-design needs.
"Will the proportions of the original work change if a different sized canvas is used?"
No, not unless the ratio you select is different. A direct 'scale' version can be created without altering the elements or their relationship to each other, in the same way a photo can be resized 'to scale' without changing the image proportions.
"Will the original design or any of the artwork be cut off?"
No, not unless you have a specific request to do so.
