A place you don’t want to forget. A home that holds a chapter of your life. A beloved pet. A landscape that means something only to you.
I accept a limited number of commissioned oil paintings throughout the year.
How It Works
01 — Tell me the story.
Send reference photographs and tell me what makes the subject meaningful to you.
02 — Draft Together.
We’ll select the size, orientation, reference image, and any important details before painting begins.
03 — Reserve your commission.
A 25% non-refundable deposit places your painting on my studio calendar.
04 — I paint.
Your painting is created in oils using your photographs and our conversation as reference.
05 — Final approval.
You’ll have an opportunity to review the finished work before final payment. Two edits permitted (ex. darker the background, make the ears bigger.)
06 — It comes home.
Once sufficiently dry and safely prepared, your original painting is carefully packaged and shipped.
