If someone emails john or squarespace inquiry
Good Afternoon ________,
John Duckworth's assistant here! Thank you for your interest in John’s work.
I see that you are interested in John's Landscape Abstracts.
John's Landscape Abstracts, are produced on canvas in exclusive editions. I've attached the PDF that outlines the sizes and prices for these pieces. The standard sizes are 27x40" at $3000 and 40x60" at $4000. Both are available in editions of five. These are produced on canvas right here in John's studio! Then they are custom framed with a simple canvas floater frame in either black, white, or stained walnut. View the frame options here.
If you would like John to create a digital mock-up for you, just send us a photo of the wall, a short list of your favorite pieces from his website, and the heights/widths of the desired artwork size and wall dimensions. John can then digitally 'place' the artwork on the wall for you.
*(While taking a photo, try to stand directly in front of the wall. Please send a high-res smartphone image.)
Let us know what you think. We are looking forward to hearing back from you!
Cheers,
_________

Sanil - thank you for reaching out, I appreciate you and your wife's interest in my artwork! My photography series are produced on canvas and available in limited editions of five per image, in sizes ranging from 27x40" to 40x60" and cost $3-$4000. I've attached a PDF that has some more information about sizes, prices, frames, and editions.
Which one of the Landscape Abstract pieces is your favorite? And how big would you like it created?
If the canvas pieces are too large or too costly, I also create smaller 14x21" (the 22x30" framed) works on paper in editions of 25 for $750. The $500 price was a studio sale I was having. Examples of these can be seen HERE.
Let me know if you have any questions. Look forward to hearing back.
John
