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 and have a pleasing arrangement. Lighting is very important!!
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, or you can go to your 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).
Starting point for cost is around $2 per square inch. Depending on complexity, it can vary. For example...
11x14 painting with average detail $308.
16x20 painting with average detail $640.
If a pencil sketch is what you'd like, no problem! These are prices at $1 per square inch
11x14 sketch of single subject = $154. Additional subjects please add 25%.
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!
