To that end, our first step is a meeting, either in person, by phone or Skype, to discuss your expectations, portrait type, subject or subjects, acrylic or oil, background, size, etc.
PORTRAITS of PEOPLE
Following are the two basic methods that I usually work from:
(Pet Portrait information follows)
Pricing is for a Single Subject's Head and Shoulder Portraits:
1: CLIENT SUPPLIED PHOTO: 20"H x 16"W $1200
24"H x 30"W or 30"H x 24"W $1500
48"H x 36"W or 36"H x 48"W $2500
Examples of the above sizes are available for viewing here on this site. Simply go to GALLERY to viiew.
Depending on your specific needs an additional size may be appropriate.
Pricing is for relatively simple background. Complex detailed backgrounds are an additional charge. Most of the paintings available for viewing on this site have simple backgrounds.
All paintings are on gallery wrapped canvas with the edges of the painting painted into the composition. Therefore your painting is ready to hang without a frame. You also have the option to frame your portrait.
Packing and Shipping costs are additional.
Prices do not include any travel expenses or fees if any travel is required.
2: STUDIO SITTING:
20"H x 16"W $1400
24"H x 30"W or 30"H x 24"W $1800
48"H x 36"W or 36"H x 48"W $2800
In studio sitting of approximately 3 hours. During the sitting I do a small drawing or painting and take photos. I then complete your portrait, in studio, referencing my painting and the photos . This works very well because it allows the subject(s) to not have to spend a lot of time posing for their portrait.
The live sitting time of 3 hours is for an individual subject's head and shoulders portrait. If more of the subject's body will be included or if there is more than one portrait subject then more time will be required.
Also there are other possibilities such as multiple sittings, sittings in a clients environment. I am happy to discuss these with you.
Examples of the above sizes are available for viewing here on this site. Simple go to GALLERY to view.

MULTI IMAGE PORTRAIT
A Multi Image Portrait commission approach can create a visual time chronicle of an individual, a family, pets, a group in the present, past or through a period of time.
Both CLIENT SUPPLIED PHOTO and STUDIO SITTING methods may be used or possibly a combination of both.
Each MULTI IMAGE PORTRAIT is distinct in subject(s) and painting time Sizing and Pricing can only be determined once we have a full understanding of the subject(s),painting method(s), etc...
To view examples you can go to GALLERY, then to MULTI IMAGE PORTRAITS.
