Commissioning a Painting

Commissions are accepted on a case by case basis and largely depend on the desired subject matter and timeline. If you are interested in having a commissioned painting completed for you, consider the following:

do you have good reference photos of your desired subject matter?
does the artist already paint subject matter similar to what you are interested in?
do you know what size you would like?
do you have a timeline for when would you like the commission done by?
are you open to artist interpretation of the photo references?

Price

Paintings are priced according to size. Contact for current pricing or view original paintings to see pricing examples.

The Finished Painting

Unless otherwise discussed, all commissions will be painted in oil on 1.5" wrapped canvas and will be ready to hang upon completion. This includes black painted sides, signature on front, and hanging wire attached with D hooks. Depending on the thickness of the paint and drying time, oil paintings may or may not be varnished prior to shipping. Custom wood floater frames are available upon request, for an additional cost.
