BIDDING & AUCTIONS
When a painting is up for auction it will be available for everyone to bid.
If it’s your first time to make a bid, you will be asked to create an account before you can place your bid.
When the auction time is over the person who placed the last and highest bid will win the auction. An email will be sent to the winner with payment details.
The painting will then be packed and shipped. We will keep contact with the winner during this process, to keep the winner updated on what delivery method will be used and how the packaged can be tracked during the shipping time.
Almost, please see the following countries which we, for different reasons can’t ship to:
Algeria
Belarus
Brazil
Iran
Namibia

The currency in the auction is in US dollar but you can still bid from any country.
If you want to place a bid on a painting, just write in the amount in the bidding section and then click “custom bid”. If you are not yet logged in or don’t have an account yet, you will be asked to make an account first.
Just follow the instructions to create your account. After that you can place your bid.
All bids are legally binding.
Proxy bidding is an option for you as a bidder to set your maximum price/bid that you are willing to pay for the item, and then allow the computer system to bid for you by the bid increasement until someone places a higher bid than your maximum. In that way you can just bid your maximum and let the system do the rest.
For example, if a the current bid is on $100, and you want to place a bid, you can put a bid with the maxium price you are willing to pay, for example $500.
Then the system will automatically bid on your behalf up to your maximum. They will always endeavour to secure the property for you, either at or below your maximum bid if possible.
It’s a good way to use if you don’t have time to keep an eye on the bidding in the last hours of the auction. You can relax and know that your bidding will be done automatically.
Yes, you can bid on the auction no matter what country you come from or what currency you have. The auction is in US dollar, and in the auction product page you can find a link to a currency converter so that you easily can check how much the US amount is in your own currency.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I use both acrylic paints and also my own handmade natural earth pigment paint and watercolor.
Sometimes I paint with only acrylic or only earth pigments, and sometimes I mix them.
If you want to know more about how I create my own paint and my painting technique, check out my YouTube video here.
Yes, all paintings are delivered fully framed. Each frame is carefully crafted from Swedish pine tree, chosen for its natural beauty and durability, to complement the artwork and ensure it is ready to hang upon arrival.
Yes, all paintings are signed by Jonna Jinton and come with a certificate of authenticity.
Yes, all paintings are professionally varnished to protect the surface and enhance the colors. The varnish also provides UV protection, helping to preserve the artwork for years to come.
For optimal presentation, we recommend illuminating the paintings with a light source of approximately 4000K. This neutral white light brings out the true colors and details of the artwork without altering the tones, ensuring the painting is displayed as the artist intended.
