Additional Comments:

This detailed and subdued watercolor by Paul Marny, titled Montoire-sur-Loire, depicts a weathered medieval tower commanding a historic riverside bridge under a gray, overcast sky. The artist uses soft watercolor washes and nuanced, blended brushwork rather than harsh lines to sculpt the aged stone facade and capture the heavy, diffused light of a gloomy day. At the base of the fortification, a dark timber-roofed shelter covers a small crowd of figures near a boat moored at the river's edge, creating a moody, localized scene that mirrors quietly into the dark water below.

OTHER INFORMATION:

I provide the best customer service possible. Please ask all questions before bidding and bid responsibly.

The winning bidder will receive everything described in the item's description. Please do not expect anything that is not described in the auction.

Due to the quality of the art, I do not risk damaging paintings by taking them off their stretcher (or liner) and rolling them up, as these are not new paintings.

The shipping price is based on FedEx Ground or UPS with insurance. Direct Signature is required unless directed otherwise. If direct Signature is waived, the buyer is responsible for any loss or damage to the package. We can use other carriers upon request. Other carriers and services may be more expensive, and the buyer assumes all responsibility for the extra cost.

Thank you, and I hope you have a "purrific" time viewing my auctions!

Payment

SELLER'S PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

• Payment must be received within five days of receiving an invoice. 
• Once an item is paid for, eBay obligates me to ship it within 24 hours, or eBay marks it as a transaction defect on my account.
• If you would like to delay shipping, please contact me before making your payment. Otherwise, your item will be shipped right away.
• I do my own shipping and only charge actual costs. The shipping price is based on the shipping service selected with insurance, and direct signature is required, unless directed otherwise. If a direct signature is waived, the buyer is responsible for any loss or damage to the package. 
• I want to help you save on shipping costs, but when I combine items into a single package, they get damaged during delivery because the carrier stacks the boxes to maximize space. To keep your items safe, it is better to ship them separately. Thank you for your understanding.
