Commission Info

Thank you for your interest in commissioning a portrait painting.

 

CUSTOM COMMISSIONED ART WORK

I can create a sensitive and true-to-life portrait of your family pet, child/family, house, landscape or favorite vacation photo working from a selection of your favorite photographs as a reference. I will send images of your portrait as it progresses so you can provide feedback to help capture the perfect creation.

All works of art are as unique as the individuals who commission them. Therefore, the terms of each commission are negotiated on an individual basis including the commission price and timetable of the project. If you are interested in a commissioned portrait, please contact me for additional information.  My goal is to work with you to produce a beautiful, special art piece for you to enjoy, or give as a gift, to make a memory.

 I use a photograph as the portrait reference. You can either send a high-resolution digital image on a CD or email it, or a photograph, which should be a minimum of 5×7 in size, or maximum of 11×14. Providing more than one image of the subject will help me to capture the spirit of the subject. It lets me see many perspectives. Any photos or c.d.’s provided by the client will be returned upon portrait completion. When you commission me to paint a portrait, you are commissioning an individual piece of artwork, a lasting memory, which is quite unlike any photograph you may have.

Commissioned original artwork will be priced based upon the total square inches of the originals size. For example, a 16×20 original is 320 square inches. If the rate is $8 per square inch, multiply 320 by $8, giving the price of the commission as $2,560.  My normal price is $12 per square inch.  All commission prices are negotiable within reason.There is a 25% up front nonrefundable deposit required on the agreed upon price, before any work is started. You will receive the exact price after contacting me directly.  For commission information, please fill out the form and I will get back to you in 48 hours.
