Accessibility Description
This square painting features a tan long-eared dog facing forward against a light blue background. The dog's head and body fill nearly the entire panel, with the ears dropping in long vertical curves along both sides. The eyes are large and round, with brown irises, dark pupils, and small reflective highlights. A large black nose occupies the lower centre of the image, cropped by the bottom edge. A thin green flower stem curves upward from the lower centre toward the left side, ending in a small daisy with white petals and a yellow centre. A small red ladybug with black markings appears near the top right area of the dog's head. The dog is outlined with pale and blue contour lines that separate it from the background. Soft brown shading defines the muzzle, forehead, ears, and lower face. The surface shows layered acrylic handling, including visible sanding and subtle colour variation, particularly in the tan coat and the blue background.

Carrier coverage and additional insurance
Artwork ships with the basic coverage included by the carrier. This coverage is subject to the carrier’s terms and limits and may not cover the full value of the artwork. Clients may arrange additional insurance themselves or ask the Gallery for a quote for coverage under the Gallery’s policy before shipment.
Exchanges
Ordinary goods are final sale, except where required by law. The Gallery may, at its discretion, offer an exchange or store credit; a request does not guarantee approval.
Request a discretionary exchange in writing within seven calendar days of the invoice or Bill of Sale date for in-gallery purchases, or within seven calendar days of delivery for shipped purchases within Canada or internationally. Obtain authorization before returning goods. Approved returns must meet the condition, documentation and packaging requirements in our Return & Exchange Policy.
Gift certificates, commissions, special orders and layaway/payment-plan purchases are excluded from the ordinary discretionary exchange policy. Separately agreed terms and statutory rights remain unaffected. The accepted quote and accompanying terms govern your transaction; later website updates do not change an existing agreement.
Damage reporting
Inspect the artwork and packaging promptly. Report damage or discrepancies as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of delivery or pickup, with available photographs of the artwork, packaging and shipping label. Retain all packaging while the issue is investigated. Missing this requested reporting period does not by itself remove statutory rights. Carrier and insurer requirements depend on the actual service or policy. Read our Return & Exchange Policy.
Artwork Care
CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.
Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.
Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.
Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.
Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
