What is a commission?

A commission is a painting I create in collaboration with you (my client). Designing a commissioned painting I work with you on a flattering pose, background, color and other considerations to best represent the subject to you. I really enjoy this process and have created hundreds of commissioned paintings.

How about some examples of recent commissions?

I just painted an oil painting of a father and his three young sons working with cattle. Most of my information came from an old family movie. It is a Christmas present for their mother. What fun to try to recreate a special time for a fellow mom!
Another was a portrait of a favorite dog. His favorite place was in the back seat of the ATV.

How accurate will it be?

Some people want a contemporary, loose representation of their horse on a piece of textured stone. Others want every detail. We'll work together to plan the "perfect" painting.

How long does it take?

Most commissions take three to six months. If it is a gift it must be planned ahead.

What is the price?

Commissions start at $595 on 12” x 12” stone and $2400 for a 16” x 20” oil on canvas.
Prices increase for more subjects and larger sizes.
