COMMISSIONING ARTWORK
First steps
Great paintings start with an idea, like a special place or a beloved pet. Next, think about size. How large will the finished, framed painting be? Standard framing sizes are easiest, but custom sizes are also available.
Do you know where the painting will hang? Choosing the setting up front can be helpful to determine the color palette of a piece.
Getting started
Placing your order is as easy as sending an email. Attach your reference photo(s) of the subject, and provide details regarding size, etc.
My current pricing for custom unframed pieces:
9x12..............................$215 USD
12x12............................$285
11x14.............................$305
12x16............................$375
Don't see the size you want? Ask for it!
For portraits, prices are for single figures. Additional figures incur a 30% increase.
Need it sooner? Most commissions are completed and delivered in 3-4 weeks. A rush fee of $25 applies to orders needed in under 21 days.
To frame or not to frame? Unframed paintings are carefully packed; however, I cannot be held responsible for damage to any painting due to mishandling. Professional framing is the best way to protect a pastel painting. I pass on the cost of framing with no markup.
The Process
Once the details of the order -- composition, size, etc. -- are confirmed, and a 50% deposit has been paid, I begin work. Clients get to review the progress of their commissions twice via email to ensure the development of the painting is to their liking. During these reviews you can request reasonable changes, such as adjustments to the palette or edits to specific details.
Payment and Delivery
Upon final approval, and receipt of final payment(s), the painting will be packed and shipped to you. Unframed pieces are carefully wrapped in glassine paper (to prevent smudging) and sandwiched between two pieces of foamcore. Framed paintings are also carefully packed. All shipments can be tracked and/or insured upon request.
Gift Certificates
Gift certificates offer an even easier way to give the gift of fine art. All you need to do is specify the size and provide payment.
