Maria most of the canvas work is new and has not been displayed on another medium. The exception was reprinting 4 photographs on canvas that have never sold. The paper printing of these were not displayed. My notice reads as follows:
This certifies that the canvas print, ------, is a signed limited edition numbered print from original photography by Greg Spring. This 20x24 print is number 1 out of an edition size of 50.
I thought this covered it all.
