Paintings made personal

 If you like my painting style but can't find an Available Work that suits your needs, I provide a commission service.  For a slightly higher investment, you'll receive a painting that is more personal, geared toward your idea, and something to treasure for a lifetime.

I've been commissioned to paint someone's favorite flowers, a personal portrait, a cherished pet portrait, a cityscape of sports stadiums, a client's farmhouse and barn, and more.  All work is executed with high quality stretched linen canvas and I use only traditional archival oil paints, medium, and varnish. 

My commission process is fairly simple and is designed to minimize the client's time while maximizing the results.  First, I offer a no obligation consultation where we can discuss your objectives and budgets.  Based on our discussions, I’ll formulate a proposal.  After agreeing on the scope and quote, the painting will progress in four stages, 1) Drawing, composition, and construction (Initial Approval)  2) Color block-in  3) Color modeling  4) Finishing details (Final Approval).

Commission Fees: Please use the contact form on this site or email me to describe your idea.  I will follow up by emailing an updated rate sheet and then call you to schedule our initial consultation.
