Commission Me

$100.00

Tax included.

Would you like to commission me to paint you something? Well, ok then. Here's how it works:

PROCESS
The process begins when you purchase a non-refundable deposit to get a commissioned work started. Once that is done:

I will contact you and request that you email me about 2-3 images that I can look at and choose from. Please DO NOT send me a photo that you don't want me to select. :-) (Portraits are popular but really I can paint any subject you want (florals, still life, landscape, etc.)).
I will choose one of the photos and let you know which I choose. I will ask that you allow me the artistic freedom to paint the subject using my loose, expressive style and my best judgement and the inspiration that I receive unique to the image.
I will then paint the work (within a 2-4 week time frame) and I will email the finished painting to you.
We will either arrange shipping (if you live far away) or pick-up (if you live close to my studio). Prior to shipping/pick-up, I'll send you an invoice for the balance of the commissioned work and any shipping costs as appropriate.
If you hate the final painting, I will keep the painting and offer it for sale to the public at large and you will not need to pay the balance. With very few exceptions, I will not go back and forth to make adjustments.

REPAINTING PAST WORKS

If you love a past work of mine that you'd like me to repaint for you, the process will be the same except you won't have to send me reference photos as described above — but simply state which past work you want me to repaint. PLEASE NOTE that I will try to replicate the past work but given the nature of original work, it won't be an EXACT replica. Colors and strokes will be as similar as possible but slightly nuanced differences will occur. This is especially true if you ask the new work to be painted in a different size, as scale will affect the mood of a piece.
