Local Oil Painting Reproductions

[kevman]

I'm looking for a painting by Callius Coolidge (dogs playing poker dude - but not the dogs playing poker painting) and was thinking about getting a reproduced painting from paintinghere.com or something similar. Does anyone have experience with ordering paintings like this? How could I find someone in Calgary to do similar work? Last I checked there are struggling artists everywhere so I may as well support a local.

Are you looking for a original "copy" or a canvas transfer Giclée print?

Giclée? When I started my search I was looking for someone that does the faux canvas copies like you'd find of famous paintings for $50 at the mall. You know those classy ones with the fake raised brush strokes that don't actually match the colours of the painting... After stumbling across paintinghere.com I think I'm leaning towards an original "copy" that was actually painted by a real person.

That said, I'd be interested in both options to compare quality and costs.
