SamsOriginalArt.com is redefining the experience of buying art. We exclusively sell artwork by Vancouver artist Sam Siegel. Specializing in limited edition giclee canvas prints of his work. We believe shopping for high-quality artwork should be easy, affordable, and hassle-free. We stand behind our product. If you are not 100% happy with your order when it arrives, you have 14 days to return it. *Conditions Apply. Click here read our Refund Policy.
The editions are per painting not per size. For example if the edition is 30, there will only be 30 total in existence. As soon as the last edition (30 in this case) is ordered it will be discontinued and sold out. We make them to order and we number the editions at that time. That way we can always offer any size a customer would like to purchase before it sells out.
It will state on the product page if it's an edition of 30 or 50.Â
Once sold out they will no longer be available to purchase. We only release a very limited number of editions for each painting, all numbered and signed. I try to release 1-2 new paintings each month. To be notified when new paintings become available, you can subscribe to our email newsletter!

Giclee prints are very special: they can be found in the world's finest museums, art galleries and private art collections and should be treasured and cared for in the same way as an original piece of art.
Giclee prints carefully reproduce the rich colours and beautiful detail of each brush stroke of the original painting and any imperfections that you may see on the print are a feature of the original painting and exact reflection of the nature of the painted surfaces of paintings.
We rarely have sales but you can sign up to our newsletter (at the bottom of the page) which will notify you when there are new sales and paintings. You can unsubscribe at anytime.

We specialize in making the highest quality canvas prints on the market. Our special blend of cotton canvas is designed to meet art galleriesâ and museumâs longevity requirements.Â
The very nature of a natural product such as cotton canvas means that there will be imperfections (lumps and bumps) in the surface of the canvas caused by the variations in the cotton threads that make up the canvas. This is normal and a feature of cotton canvas.
Likewise, any imperfections that you may see on the print are a feature of the original painting and as such a reflection of the nature of the painted surfaces of original paintings.

For those of you who like my work but donât see exactly what you would like on our website, I would be more than happy to do a âcommissionedâ painting for you. Please be aware though, that any commissioned painting is done with the understanding that you agree to the following terms:
1. I will do my utmost best to paint your commissioned work based on your description (you can even submit a photo depicting the scene you would like). I will, however, always adhere to my own âstyleâ and artistic intuition, as evidenced in my body of work.
2. The base price for my commissioned works is $4-$5/sq. inch. The exact price, however, may fluctuate, depending on the size, details, and intricacy of the painting. A final price will always be agreed upon before I begin.
3. Once a final price is determined, we require a $1000.00 (*non-refundable) deposit; upon completion, and only if you are happy with the final product, the balance is due, and it becomes a non-returnable, final sale.
4. *If, however, you are not happy with your commissioned painting, there will be no balance due, and your deposit will be applied as a store credit towards any of my other current or future works.
5. We reserve the right to make and sell limited edition giclée canvas prints of the commissioned painting. Please expect your painting to take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete.
