Regarding a recent painting purchase:"WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just opened the package and .... WOW!!! Its's GREAT. The on-line pic posted is nice, but when it's in your hands .... WOW! I am sending it to the framer in the morning and when it comes back it will be hung next to the RC Gorman."
"I'm humbled and thrilled and damn-near speechless! I don't know where to begin. I think I'm most excited about the print of "Top of the World"! I love all of them, of course, but I think you did the best job of capturing Heath and Jake's faces in this one. Jake's look of unadulterated bliss is pure perfection. Heath's obvious joy is awesome. They both radiate masculine sexuality. If I keep writing right now I'll soon run out of exclamation points and sound like a silly school girl. All of them far exceed my expectations and I couldn't be happier."

Special Offer! - Complimentary Matting
Regarding all the artwork I'm currently offering that needs matting when framed (paintings and illustrations on watercolor paper or illlustration board), I'm offering complimentary matting, double mats, bevel cut, thrown in for free when you purchase a piece. That would save you quite a bit when you get the piece framed. All you would need to do is get a frame and some glass and put the artwork in it. Some people prefer to get the matting and framing done to their own particular tastes, so if you purchase a piece, let me know if you prefer the piece matted or unmatted.
| "Hombre" Medium: ORIGINAL, acrylic on illustration board mounted on panel Image Area: 10" x 14" Unframed Price: $188.50 Payment with PayPal or with credit card through PayPal system available. Email me at rickchris at (use @ symbol) rickchris.com and I will then send you an invoice through the PayPal system or give you information how to send payment. Shipping: $7.00 A mustached, holstered wearing cowboy on the prarie. I attempt to offer you the best of both worlds with this painting. The rendering on illustration board allows me to achieve detail and effects that are more difficult to produce on canvas, and mounting the painting on a panel and varnishing it allows it to be displayed without mats or glass. A 10 x 14" frame that will fit this painting can be found in any arts and crafts store, making for a savings in framing. Original painting is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authentication. |

| "Danger" Medium: ORIGINAL, acrylic on illustration board mounted on panel Image Area: 10" x 14" Unframed Price: SOLD What is more dangerous, the approaching storm or the cowboy with blue eyes? This painting is rendered on illustration board but it is also mounted on a wood panel and varnished, a technique I used to do years ago. Painting on illustration board allows me to produce the precise detail I want and mounting the illustration board on a panel allows for the painting to be framed without glass or mat board. The size of the painting is a standard frame size, so all that is required is to purchase a frame at your local arts and crafts store. Original painting is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authentication. |

| "The
Stonewall" edium:
ORIGINAL, acrylic on canvas board This is another in a series of gay historical paintings. This image depicts the Stonewall tavern on Christopher Street in New York City. The paintings attempts to depict a night in the late 1960s slightly before the Stonewall riots. I tried to get what accuracy I could from old black and white photos of the bar, guessing at colors. Still, I feel this may be a fair representation of the Stonewall at the time. Original painting is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authentication. |

 Medium:
ORIGINAL, acrylic on canvas board A scene of a late night smootch on a very snowy deserted street outside of an all night diner. The tender blues are offset by the brilliant neon colors. Personally, I'm very pleased with the way this painting turned out. A coat of varnish gives this image the look of an oil painting. The painting is standard size (so it will be easy to find a frame - so your framing costs are minimized) and requires no matting or glass - all you need to make it display ready is a frame. Original painting is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authentication. |

FREE! - There have been some concerns about framing and matting of
the paintings with panoramic sizes, so I'm offering to send the
paintings like these with free matting. I used to offer mats with a
painting years ago on my auctions on ebay. When the painting comes
already matted, all you have to do is purchase a sectional frame from
your favorite crafts store, get some glass and pop the matted painting
into it. Some buyers prefer selecting their own mats or using their
local framing shop, so the matting is optional and you do not have to
take the matting if you're just going to remove it anyway.
 Medium: ORIGINAL, acrylic on
illustration board A scene of a winter's evening during Christmas time, snacks on the table for a bedtime meal. |

 Medium: ORIGINAL, acrylic on
illustration board This is the second composition on this theme. I created a similar composition which I donated to a benefit auction and I was intrigued by the situation depicted in that painting and decided to do another along the same lines. Other than showing a group of men in a snowbound outpost and the reaction when a cold blast of air comes through an open door, I'll let the viewer can decide what the actual story the painting depicts. |

Frequently Asked Questions
• Due to the
limitations of scanning and digital photography the actual painting or
illustration may look slightly different from the represented photo,
the actual art will look much better, sharper and more crisp than the
photo. • I will not hold a painting without
receiving payment for it. Painting is sold to first party I receive
payment from. • Payment procedure is exactly like payment for an
auction on eBay and just as secure. The advantage to purchasing from
the web site is that prices are similar to eBay and the identity of the
purchaser is not made available to the public or recorded in feedback
history. • Purchases from outside the United States are accepted -
payable in United States currency. All the work I have available on the
web site can be seen by non-United States residents, none of it is
blocked.
Purchase and Payment
Purchase price and shipping cost with artwork description.
Please mention the title of the piece when ordering. Payment needs to
be in United States funds. Payment can be with money order, personal
check (shipment after check clears) (email for address information).
For secure online credit card payment options, contact Rick Chris by
email.
Pricing
The listed price is an argument between the cost of producing the piece
(labor, material costs and overhead costs) versus what the market will
bear. Prices are determined in the same way any business must determine
price. The prices listed on this page are lower than what they would be
if sold through a gallery or third party since the purchase is made
directly from the artist.
