Commissions

I accept commissions for custom paintings in a variety of subject matter - whether that be your pets (dogs, cats, horses), or people. I generally set up an introductory meeting where I can get further insight as to the goal you wish me to accomplish. We discuss mood, environment, size, price, and the general process of how I approach a commissioned art piece. Generally I work from a number of "good" photos but will often do a color study from the live subject if I feel that the photos do not provide enough information. Once I receive approval, I can begin the process. The goal is to create a painting that you will have and treasure for a lifetime.

Shipping is not an issue as I work with a reliable shipping firm. The one thing I do not provide is a frame for the painting. I feel this is a very personal thing for most clients; however, I am willing to suggest what I feel would be aesthetically pleasing.
