Commissioning Art

Perhaps you are seeking a portrait of yourself or another loved one. You may wish to have a large decorative mural for your home or office. You may just want a serene landscape or still life to bring an added sense of peace into your life. The best news is that few subjects of reasonable taste are off limits to the artist! Commissioned pastel paintings or drawings are a great alternative if the price of a commissioned oil painting is prohibitive. The biggest factors in cost are the artworks medium, size and complexity. For instance a portrait with two individuals will cost more than a solo portrait. A standard 35% deposit is required before work can begin on a project and is retained by the artist even if for any reason the final piece is rejected. Great effort ensures that an artwork meets or exceeds the expectations of the owner. .

Some basic commission criteria: What art medium are you looking for? (oil, charcoal, pastel, etc.) What size are you looking for? (16"x20", 24"x 36", odd sizes, etc.) What kind of subject are you looking for? (portrait, figure, mural, etc.) Does the artist need to travel to carry out your commission?

Travel to anywhere is possible if all involved expenses including lodging are met by the client. When the basic questions have been addressed the other details will fit in place and the commission can be fully realized. All questions are welcomed and it is usually easiest to discuss the specifics of an art commission by phone and or in person.
