To Be Kind
Original oil over mixed media on a gallery-wrapped canvas
Size: 10x10in
Kindness doesn’t need to be loud to change everything.
To Be Kind captures that truth in the unfolding of red tulips, their petals warm against a backdrop touched with radiant gold. They bloom simply, boldly, carrying the generosity and softness that kindness always leaves behind. Gold shimmers through the piece like proof - reminding us that even the smallest act can leave a light that lasts.
Kindness outlasts the moment. It is the quiet force that outlives everything else - the thread that ties us together, the light that refuses to dim.
Notes for Collectors
Shipping Information
See my full shipping policy here.
Oil paintings take time to cure, so please allow 2-4 weeks for processing and shipping. (Good art doesn’t rush, and neither should shipping. ✨) If more time is ever needed, I’ll let you know right away with an updated timeline.
Shipping is free on original canvas artworks over $300 within the contiguous U.S. (48 states). Because if you’re collecting originals, shipping shouldn’t be the thing that holds you back.
For orders that don’t qualify for free shipping - including collectors in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or outside the U.S. - shipping is calculated at checkout with UPS live rates. To help offset the cost, I apply a $40 shipping credit automatically toward every order.
For oversized works (48"x60" and larger), standard carriers can’t handle them - I’ll provide a custom freight quote to ensure they travel safely. Just reach out through the Contact Page, and we’ll create a plan that gets your artwork to you no matter where in the world you are.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes! I love sending my work to collectors across the globe. 🌍 Most paintings can be purchased directly through checkout - shipping costs are calculated automatically based on your location.
For oversized pieces (like 48×60 and larger), standard carriers can’t handle them, so I’ll provide a custom freight quote. If you’re outside the U.S. and interested in a large work, just send me a message — I’ll reserve the piece for 48 hours, gather a quote, and create a checkout link.
Shipping costs are calculated by location, and import duties/taxes are the collector’s responsibility. (Good news: art makes it through customs better than most of us do.)
A note on on colors
I photograph and edit each piece with care to capture it as accurately as possible. Still, colors can shift slightly depending on your screen, lighting, or monitor settings.
The soul of the painting is always captured, but small variations in brightness, contrast, or tone may occur.
If you’d like more details or extra photos before purchasing, just reach out - I’m happy to help.
(And let’s be real: no screen has ever done oil paint justice. The glow always wins in person.)
Other questions?
Choosing the right artwork is personal - it’s about more than filling a wall. The piece you bring home should feel like it belongs with you, adding light, peace, and inspiration to your everyday life.
If you have questions or want a little guidance in finding the right fit, reach out directly - I’m happy to help.
Because the truth is, the “perfect piece” isn’t about rules. It’s about what makes you feel something.
