Get in touch to indicate your interest in commissioning a portrait. I will get back to you to discuss your ideas for the portrait, the process, and pricing.
The size is the main factor in determining the price. The complexity of the portrait may also affect the price, such as the number of people or pets in the portrait, objects added, and the scene of the portrait. An initial deposit of 15% is required, with the balance due on delivery of the painting.

I work from a combination of sittings and photos. After a discussion confirming the size, subject, and price of the portrait, we will meet for an initial set-up, sitting, and photo session. I like to have two or three sittings, and then work from photos, with potentially another sitting or two as the portrait develops.
I would allow at least a couple of months for the portrait to be completed. I will keep you well informed about how it is coming along.
If you have an object or objects that are meaningful to you and you would like to see them in a painting, a commissioned still life painting can be arranged. Once the size, number of objects, whether flowers, fabrics and/or background location are to be included, and the price is confirmed, I will meet with you in your home, set up a still life composition we are both inspired by, and begin to paint. After this initial session, I will work exclusively from a photo reference.
