Commission Info

Sorry, shop is closed for right now. I'm not accepting any new commissions currently, but thank you for your interest.
-----------------------------

“Commission” sounds like a complex process, but with me it’s pretty simple: send me a photo and I’ll make you a painting, no extra charge.

For example:
You email me (attached with a good photo) saying you want a 6"x6" painting of your dog...

Original Photo

After confirming with you, I customize the image in photoshop which includes cropping to the right size and adding a complimentary background color...

Photoshopped Image

Then, I use that photoshopped image as a reference for creating the actual oil painting...

Finished Painting

Once completed, I send you a return email with a photo of the finished painting and a paypal link (no paypal account needed and it takes all credit cards). After payment, I ship your commissioned painting to you. :)

One of the best parts of getting a commissioned painting from me is that it is that it is at no extra charge*. That is to say, it's the same pricing as my other paintings.

9"x12"   = $235

Notes:

• Need a different size? Ask me for a quote.
• For larger paintings I'll ask for a 1/4 of the price in advance to get started. The remainder to can be paid right before shipping.
• Drying time can vary, so I may need to wait a few days after completion before I ship it (especially if it's big).
• You can specify if the background is important and needs to be included, however normally I crop out the background (or simplify it) and replace it with a complimentary color that I find focuses better on the subject.
• You can and are encouraged to send multiple photos. However, I will chose the best one for painting and from which I will use as the actual painting reference.
• *Except in the case of larger painting, I don't send comps (compositions, the photoshopped images) before I beginning painting. If, you feel like you need to see a comp(s) and possibly make edit(s) please let me know and then an additional consulting rate of $65/ per hour will need to be applied for any time edit-related.
• Pets are my most frequent requests, but I also portrait, landscape and still-life commissions.
• *My paintings are normally painted on flat hard board panel for easy fitting/framing into standard frames. However, canvases or cradled hardboard can be requested (at additional cost).
