New Limited Edition Horse Prints

I am very happy to announce that limited edition horse prints are now available at Carrie-Lewis.com.

What's new about that, you ask. Haven't reproductions been featured on the website since it's launch?

Yes, they have, but purchase opportunities have either been non-existant or clumsy as I explored various types of point-of-sale systems.

Thanks to my web host, FatCow.com, I have finally found the best doorway into the world of e-commerce.

A shopping cart system that allows visitors to make purchases directly from the web site has been added to the Horse Prints page and will eventually be site-wide. Powered by ShopSite8, this system includes secure socket links (SSL), order confirmation, shipping information and everything else visitors need to make secure purchases.

Payment options include all major credit cards through PayPal.

Products currently equipped with shopping carts include one thoroughbred racing image, two Quarter Horse racing images, two harness racing images and one image featuring a winsome Icelandic horse. For your shopping convenience, all six are in one location: a brand new Horse Prints page.

The Horse Prints page has been launched with all Standard Edition Reproductions. Standard Edition reproductions are 8 x 10 giclee reproductions on Somerset Paper. They are available in a limited edition of 275 for $49.95 plus tax (where applicable) and shipping. Standard editions are signed and numbered.

The reproductions offered by Carrie L. Lewis ~ Horse Painter are all produced as giclees from high resolution digital scans. You can learn more about this process and find other information about reproductions on my website.

Summer Portrait Special

Beginning in June...

...portraits will be offered framed and ready to hang. You chose the size, the medium and the horse you want a portrait of and I will design and paint the portrait, then get it framed for you. Your finished portrait will arrive at your door framed and ready to hang!

A minimum deposit of one-third the price of the portrait is required to get your project on my work calendar.

Basic framing* is available on basic portraits** until September 30, 2006.

Portraits are available in oils or colored pencil for the same prices and in a variety of sizes.

For example, a framed 8x10 portrait in either colored pencil or oils will cost $450. A deposit of $150 is all you need to get your portrait scheduled.

If you would like something larger, try a 16x20 portrait for $900, with an order deposit of $300.

*These prices are for basic framing only. Framing for oil paintings will be with standard wood frames with linen liners. Framing for colored pencils will include a basic double mat with a complementary frame. Frames will be chosen to complement the finished portrait. Custom framing available is available. Add 50% of the overall cost of the framed portrait.

**These prices are for Basic Horse Portraits with one subject. A second subject may be added to the portrait for 50% of the overall cost of the framed portrait. The second subject may be a second horse, a second animal or a second image of the same horse.

Order deposits must be made by September 30, 2006 to be eligible for the Framed Portrait package. The portrait itself may be scheduled for up to one full year from the time of deposit payment. This can be especially important if you want to reserve a portrait, but cannot get started right away.

Payments to suit your budget may be made on the balance on a monthly basis.

If you would like a quote on your specific project or if you would like more information on this limited time offer, all you need to do is email me

*Photography services are not included.
