Commissions

I love to collaborate on commissions with clients, to make a bespoke painting, and have completed many commissions for clients in their homes, as well as for corporate clients, such as restaurants and office spaces. The commission process is fairly relaxed. It can involve as little or as much interaction as you would like.

 

The Commissions Process

I usually allow 6 - 8 weeks to complete a painting, (*this can vary depending on other commitments) and depending on size.

Once agreed on the direction you would like the painting to go, I order the canvas, and start work. I would then send you images of your painting, halfway through the process, to see if you are happy with the direction of the piece.

Some people like to be very involved, and others prefer to just see the finished painting. Whatever suits you best. 

SIZE

First thing is to decide the best size canvas for your custom project. At this time I am only accepting commissions 16” x 20" and larger. If you are unsure the perfect size for your space, I’m happy to help you decide!

INSPIRATION

It can help for me to see your space, either through photos or in person (if local), to get a feel for the surrounding atmosphere (wall color, fabric swatches, light, overall mood, etc.)

I appreciate any inspiration you can provide - what particular paintings/style of mine you favor, any photographs/landscapes/locations you would like me to work from, Pinterest boards, color palettes, etc. The more insight, the better!

SKETCH

I start with a few watercolor sketch options for your piece, to give you an idea of what I had in mind and make sure we are on the same page.  Once I have your approval, the oil painting begins.  At this point, I typically allow for 10-12 week for completion of each piece (and slightly longer during the holiday season.)

PRICING

My prices for commissioned pieces start at about $900, and run about 15% more than ready-to-ship paintings.  This is to account for the time spent putting together a cohesive piece that meets all of your wishes.  I ask for a 50% deposit to begin, with the remaining balance, plus shipping, due once your painting is complete.
