I do commissions of most any subject--people, pets, places or otherwise! I can use photos, but they must be very clear, and not distorted, as in looking straight down onto your dog's face, making the face huge, and his back-end tiny. (unless you want an abstract portrait!) More than one picture isn't always necessary, but usually very helpful. I can take emailed photos, if they are clear.
After a short discussion of what is expected, I will need 1/3 down to begin. When the piece is finished I will email it to you for previewing, and the remaining price is due at this time, ONLY if you are happy! I can frame, but it's usually a better situation if you take it to a local frame shop. Once the full price is paid, it will be promptly shipped. I can accept PayPal, money orders or personal checks. (checks will need to clear before shipping a painting).
For a general idea on pricing....
11x14 painting with average detail $150.
16x20 painting with average detail $300.
18x24 painting with average detail $430.
Prices depend on the actual work involved, and anything that requires a rush (not always possible) will run a bit higher.
These prices are not including shipping, framing, matting, or taxes. Email me with any questions!
