Thank you for considering Shannon's to sell your fine art. The first step in consigning is to send photographs of the artwork to us. These must be clear, preferably digital or 35mm photos taken outdoors if possible. A photo of the reverse is helpful. No Polaroids please. The better the quality, the more accurate the estimate will be. Quality e-mail photographs are acceptable. Minimum value of each painting must be $5,000.

2. Medium (oil on canvas, oil on panel etc.)
