I'm glad you're looking for more information, commissions are a fun collaboration! So what's the first step? Send me an email along with a brief description of what you would like, along with any image(s) if you have something specific in mind (such as a pet or portrait). We can then continue to chat via email or by Zoom or Facetime. Once I have a sense of what you're looking for, I typically request a downpayment of 50% which is handled through PayPal, along with a simple agreement. Depending on project, roughs or a sketch might be necessary before beginning on the actual painting. Once I begin, I will send you images of the painting in progress, either by email and/or social media such as facebook or instagram, so you can follow along. This helps ensure there are no surprises at the end. Average time for completion of a painting is 6-8 weeks, but depends on other factors such as size/complexity of the painting, my schedule, etc. I look forward to visiting with you about any questions you might have.

Here is an example of pricing for common sizes. Unless otherwise requested, all paintings 24 x 36 inches are done on cradled panel, larger sizes may be done on stretched canvas.

*Cradled panel sides are either solid wood or hardwood veneer, finished with a clear varnish. All cradled panels include wire for hanging and are titled, signed and dated on the back.
