The hand behind it
William Ranney
William Ranney painted the American frontier: trappers, hunters, scouts and pioneers, set against wide prairies and mountains. His scenes are lively and full of narrative, painted with a clear sense of outdoor light. Born in Middletown, Connecticut, he worked as a tinsmith in North Carolina before studying art in New York. In 1836 he went to Texas and served in the Texas army, and that experience of the West stayed with him. He set up a studio in New York and later West Hoboken, New Jersey, painting western, sporting and historical subjects. He produced about 150 paintings before his death at 44. Boone’s First View of Kentucky and Advice on the Prairie show his taste for storytelling in open country.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get Advice on the Prairie in a different size or shape?
Yes. Advice on the Prairie is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in).
