Edit: It seems like the general consensus is that it is printed and painted over. I'm not sure if this is part of the artist's process, or maybe if the original was mixed up with the hand embellishment. I want to reach out to the artist. What's the best way to do it with giving them the benefit of the doubt? How would you word it?

I bought a work of art and the artist said it was an original oil. I paid him half and then he delivered it to my house the next day where I paid him the other half. When I saw it at the art festival, it looked real, but now I'm taking it out now that we're ready to put it up and I'm not sure if it's original or an embellished print. The artist talked about how he's done hand embellished giclee and that he sells him cheaper, but I loved the piece and decided to invest in the original. The artist has a good reputation, but this is my first time buying an artwork. I'm worried if maybe there was a mixup.

I got a microscope to help see if it was printed or not. Can anyone help to know if this is printed with some paint on top? I want to be sure before I reach out to the artist.

I don't want to reveal the name lest I ruin their reputation for no reason.

NOTE: Please swipe through the pictures to see examples of this painting under a microscope. I posted multiple pictures to this reddit post. Thank you!

I got this rug from Amazon and no vacuum works on it. I've tried multiple attachments on my Dyson, I tried a cross wave.

With the Dyson regular attachment, it spins but no dirt is picked up. With the vacuum attachment, it will only spin as I push really really hard to move the vacuum forward and backward. I did that with the whole vacuum, but still no dirt is picked up.

I tried it with my cross wave which both vacuums and washes the rug, with just the vacuum on. The roller will spin slowly but then shut down after a few seconds. Again, no dirt picked up.

I know it's gotta be dirty because it's the one rug in the house that keeps making my husband sneeze. Plus, logically rugs get dirty and it's been months.

I know in the product descriptions it says it's washable, but we don't have a large enough washer, plus it's a lot to get it out of and back under all the furniture.

Is there a way to clean this rug?
