About Commissions

 

How Much does a commission cost?

Prices start at $450 U.S. dollars for 11"x14" and increase based on the size of the work. 50% of the payment must be received before work begins and the remaining 50% must be received before work is shipped or upon pick up. I'm also required to charge CA sales tax, and the cost of creating the work does not include shipping. I'm happy to barter, so long as the cost of supplies is covered. All the money I make goes into bills, gas, food, and more paint supplies, so please don't be intimidated by my prices, if you really want a commission I'm sure we can work something out. I'm also open to payment plans.

 

How Long does it take to complete the work?

The time required is dependent on the complexity of the work and the layers required to create it, but most paintings can be finished in about 3 months. There's an additional waiting period after the work is complete to allow the oils to dry enough before the protective varnish is applied, this takes 1-2 weeks. Large scale paintings (anything over about 12 sq.feet) take longer to complete, 4-6 months depending on size.

 

Methods of Payment?

Checks, cash, or paypal. All payments will be processed before work begins.
