Pricing and Commission Procedures

An Original Oil Painting can make a wonderful and treasured gift for friends and family that will last for generations to come.

If you've enjoyed the work on this site and you wish to consider having a painting produced to your specifications, whether it is your pet, a favorite animal, or another idea you have mind, I'd be happy to discuss this with you.

All I ask of you is that you send me clear, sharp, detailed / high resolution photographs. The higher the quality of the photographs the better the finished result. Also, more than one photograph would be a big help to me in the photo-reference department.
If you are taking photographs, especially for a commission, I'd be happy to discuss with you the best positions, lights and angles to take the perfect photograph. As long as you provide me with the best photographs I will paint most anything you like.

If however you are unable to take high resolution photographs, do not worry, I may still be able to get a good accurate result.

Please send your photographs with your name and address on the back of each one. Every photo will be carefully looked after and returned to you along with your finished work.

I will produce your work in Oil Paints. Your work will be sent to you framed or unframed - depending on your wishes, and delivered in protective packaging. Though I am not in the framing business, I may be able to help you in this area if you'd like.

I will produce work for customers in any location throughout the Continental United States.

I do not have set prices for my work due to the many variables in each individual painting. Your price will depend on your personal preferences - whether you wish your work to be background specific or no background at all; one subject or more than one subject; and the amount of detail you require. Your price will include postage and packaging costs if necessary ~ I'll deliver the work myself if purchased on Long Island. I request a 1/3 deposit before starting your work another 1/3 mid-way, the remaining 1/3 is to be paid upon completion of your work, at time of delivery.

I will keep you up to date with your work-in-progress, sending you regular scans so that changes or alterations can be made, if you require.
