Purchase a Gallery Work

Purchase an Artwork Presented in the Gallery

If you like a work of art presented in my Gallery and you're interested in purchasing it, please contact me to find out if it's still available (I try to keep my site up to date in terms of what's still available, but sometimes I get a little behind since I spend so much time painting!)

Commission a Painting or a Portrait

If you'd like to commission a painting or portrait, contact me and then you can submit a photo of your favorite subject...a person or a pet or a favorite landscape photo to be painted. Please use the form on my Contact page to request a quote, and be sure let me know the size of the painting you want to commission.

Photo & Image Quality

For best results please submit a good quality photo. A high-resolution image (at least 1280 x 960) is much better as a source than one that's been reduced. Anything smaller may not have enough detail to be reproduced well in your commissioned piece, especially if it's large.

Image submission

The fastest and preferred way of getting your image to me is via email. After I receive your quote request, I'll reply to you to let you know I received it, and you can email your photo to me after that.

Down payment

All commissioned works require a 50% down payment by PayPal, cashier's check, money order or personal check. Personal checks must clear before any work can begin.

Confirmation

You'll receive an email confirmation that your photo, down payment, and order were received.

Art Work Begins

I'll start working on the painting as soon as the required down payment is received and I have the image(s) you've sent for reference.

Framing

All completed paintings presented in the gallery are professionally framed unless otherwise noted. Commissioned paintings are unframed, however, you can request framing in your choice of frame for an additional fee (calculated based on the specifics of your art work). If you'd like your commissioned art work to be framed, please let me know that when you request the quote.

Delivery

Packing and shipping fees are additional and clients are responsible for these fees. If you're purchasing a completed work from the Gallery, your art work will be carefully packed and shipped, fully insured, via UPS. If you're commissioning a work of art, you can choose either USPS or FedEx if you prefer them over UPS, but I will only ship with fully insured with a tracking number for the protection of your art work.
