Commission a Painting
A commissioned painting is a custom piece of art made specifically for you. This is a good option if you like my work and style but have not seen a painting that fits exactly what you're looking for as far as subject or size, or maybe you saw a painting you wanted but it already sold. We work together to create a painting that is one of a kind specifically for you.
I enjoy taking on commission projects when the time allows, so feel free to contact me if interested.
Please find more details below about the process and how it typically works.
How it Works
- We will schedule an initial consultation by email or phone to discuss your vision for the piece including what you have in mind regarding subject matter, size, colors, budget, etc.
- Details discussed, cost, and timeline will be provided in writing by email.
- If you decide to proceed, a 50% deposit is required before the painting begins.
- When the painting is complete, you will receive photographs by email showing the artwork from different angles and closeups showing the detail.
- Upon your approval, the final payment is due before the painting is shipped. We take great care in framing, packaging, and ensuring the painting arrives safely to you.
Additional Details to Note
- Framing and shipping are included in the cost provided for shipments within the USA & Canada. For international shipments a shipping estimate will be provided.
- Price is based on the size of painting. To give you an idea, paintings range from $2000 to $20,000 US depending on the size and complexity. (For instance, a 30"x30" is $7500)
- I typically take on projects of subject matter that could sell elsewhere in the event you choose not to proceed to the final stage. I do not do people or pet portraits.
- I paint primarily from photographs I take and edit myself. I will likely have an image that will fit your vision, but I am open to exploring any photos you may have of a subject that is special to you.
