I will make this an easy and pleasant experience for you. In the end, you will have a beautiful work of art that is personally significant and meaningful to you. The cost will be no more than if you purchased another of my paintings from my studio/gallery.

Please take a moment to read the testimonials of others who have commissioned a painting.
 

Once you let me know you are interested in having a painting done, I will reach out to you.
 

To ensure you get what you really want, I will ask questions like:
 

• What would you like a painting of?
   

• Do you have Photographs of the subject, and will you email these images to me?
  Or, would you like me to come see what you have in mind?
   

• Do you know what size you would like the painting to be?
  Note: It has been very beneficial to other clients to have me come on location to see where they wanted to hang the painting. I’m happy to assist in determining the canvas size, for the benefit of the painting, and to meet your needs and desires.

I am very gifted at artistic composition and will present concepts for your approval. My goal is to satisfy your viewing pleasure for many years to come.

When we know the size and subject matter, I can easily provide pricing information.

Once you have determined to commission the painting, I will ask for a 50% initial investment, and commit to an approximate completion date.

When your painting is complete, and you are very happy with it, I will accept your investment balance.

• Art Frame:

  For original oil paintings I make, as a gift to you, my popular shadow box style wood frame. Your painting will be ready to hang.
