The painting The Grin is an original work created by Carol Anna Fullerton Samsel, an artist residing in Haskell, Arkansas.  Artist grade paint was used to create this 20 x 16” piece, which has been sealed with Lascaux Transparentlack 2-UV varnish to reduce fading and protect the painted surface from minor abrasions.
The substrate is 10 ounce, 100% cotton duck canvas that has been double‑primed with acid‑free titanium gesso.  The solid pine stretcher bars were kiln-dried to reduce warpage over time.

The work was created in 2007, and is signed CaFSamsel on the front.  The ink used to sign the front may fade over time.  The canvas is also signed on the back in India ink.  This signature is accompanied by the title, © VAu‑966‑548, and a Global Fine Art Registration tag (number 32418).

This work appeared in the Mid-Southern Watercolorists 2009 Summer Open Small Works Exhibition at Cantrell Gallery (Little Rock AR) and in a solo exhibition held at the Bob Herzfeld Memorial Library (Benton).

Although UV resistant materials were utilized, all artwork is subject to deterioration over time.  To increase longevity, never display the work in direct sunlight or under bright fluorescent lighting.  The surface is best cleaned with a soft cotton cloth.
