Commissions
Commissioning a special, one of a kind painting is easy!
1) Send me a message telling a little about what you’re looking for in a painting, and attach the phot(s) you want painted.
2) I will send you an invoice for the deposit or balance (depending on the amount).
3) Once a DEPOSIT is made, I can begin work on your painting!
4) ALLOW 4-5 WEEKS FOR COMPLETION, unless it is for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, then I will see what I can do. If I am working on a larger project, it may take a little longer (completing Second Chances project from April – July 2015). When I’ve completed the painting to my satisfaction, I will send you a digital photo of it for your approval. We can make revisions at that time if needed.
5) When you’re happy with it, I will need the remaining balance due(if any) before shipping.
6) Your painting will be sprayed with a fixative, dried, sealed and placed in secure packaging. It will be insured and I will provide a tracking #.
PAYMENT
I paint commissions in the order in which deposits are paid. A deposit of 50% is due on orders over $100. The full amount is due on orders $100 or less. The remaining balance plus shipping is due upon completion. I prefer Paypal, however, you are also welcome to mail a check or use a credit card through my ETSY site!
