Commissioned Art

Watercolor on Paper - Done on high quality paper. Size is determined by image size. Painting will be done on larger sized paper to allow for matting or you can have the painting cropped to fit your frame.

Watercolor on Canvas - NEW canvas coated for watercolor painting. Advatages are - you do not need to frame as the finished painting is covered with a protective UV clear coat, sides of canvas are painted allowing for direct hanging on wall.

Oil on Canvas -traditional oil on canvas. Thick, earthy colors. Allow additional time for painting, dry time & delivery. These take much longer to paint & dry. Depending on the subject it may be approx. 6-8 weeks to finish. Please contact me and we can discuss your portrait!

MULTIPLE SUBJECT PAINTINGS AVAILABLE - I can combine a mixture of photos into one...Can't get your Puppy and your Child to sit perfectly still to have their picture taken? Would you like a collage...say a Head Shot Portrait with a Full Body Shot and you pups favorite toys all in one image? Done! Have tons of photos of your kids & want Sally from picture 1 and Joey from picture 2? No problem! Send in as many pics as you want. Tell me about them. Which do you like the best. Which shows the best expression. Why is your thumb in the picture?

BACKGROUND COLOR will be determined by the artist. In some cases a background is not necessary (depending on the subject)...if a desired color or background element is desired, please let me know! A more complex background, like a landscape, may add to the price. This will be determined before the painting is started.

IMAGE - Simply send a nice quality digital picture to work from. I can work from multiple images, but prefer one good picture to use as the master and additional pictures that may show color, expression, or other elements.

PROOFING - Once the artwork is finished, a full color image will be emailed for your approval. I do not charge for changes, but note...watercolor is nearly impossible to change once it is down. I can manipulate it to a degree, but major changes usually require a complete redo (but, this has not happened to me yet...knock on wood).
