Another option is a quality photograph. When I painted a judge once, the committee that hired me wanted to present his wife with an image of the painting. We hired a professional photographer and had a photo taken of the painting and a subsequent 11x14 (approx) photo produced on the "canvas finish" paper that photographers promote. We then framed it in a quality frame that was a more narrow version on the oil's frame. Because of the finish on the paper, glass was not needed so it gave a mini-oil illusion. The original painting had been 24x30.

The photographer gave me professional consideration in the pricing, so the resulting photo cost me less then $100 plus the frame. With some mark-up, I was able to make a little additional on the photo. Although it was not officially a "print", it was a quality looking reproduction of the painting and the wife was very happy with it. A solution for relatives that I will consider doing again.
