I take great pleasure in painting commissioned artwork for clients.  Requests have run the gamut from perfectly matching fabric samples to clients who give me artistic license to put their ideas into a painting.  I have painted others using the photos that are dear to them.  I have had requests to paint favorite pets, family homes, backyard memories, birds, vacation subjects, a castle in Poland, butterflies and numerous flowers to name a few.  Each commission is unique and different.  I think that commissioned paintings are successful when the artist and the client communicate frequently through emails and sample drawings during the commission process.

COMMISSION PROCESS

1. First you contact me using this FORM to request information for a commissioned artwork.  You will provide your name, phone number, size of painting and idea of what you are interested in having painted.  This could include a photograph.

2. I will then contact you to discuss the painting that you are considering commissioning me to paint along with a price quote.

3. My price is $5.00 per square inch plus 6.5% sales tax if you are a Florida resident, plus shipping.

4. If you decide to proceed, I require a nonrefundable good faith deposit of $100.

5. I will send you an initial sketch for your approval.

6. Once the design is approved, I require a 50% nonrefundable deposit on the painting.  Your good faith $100 deposit will be used toward this 50% deposit.

7. I will send you progress reports and photos as the painting is being completed.

8. I also do matting and framing for an additional charge.  This can be discussed as the painting progresses.
