Commission a painting

---

A commission based on an existing painting

Buyers often request a commission based on an existing painting with modifications such as size, number of canvases, and different colors or hues. Please keep in mind that while I can approximate the look and feel of a painting, I am unable to create an exact copy of a painting since every painting is so unique.

​

Matching colors in the room Feel free to send me swatches of fabric or photos of furniture, a rug, wall color, or other objects in the room if you would like your painting to include or complement specific colors. You may also want to send me a photo or two of the room, particularly the wall where you plan to hang the painting.

​

Single canvas or multiple canvases

There are many possible combinations if a buyer wants a painting created from multiple canvases. I'm happy to work with you to decide what will work best for you. Click here to see various canvas sizes that are available.

​

Canvas depth

Three depths of canvases are available: 7/8 inch, 1.5 inches, and 1 and 3/8 inches. Please keep in mind that I paint the sides of my paintings, so typically collectors do not frame my paintings (although you are certainly free to do so!). A collector also has the option to have a canvas custom-built. Commissions on custom canvases must be paid for in full up front, and this payment is non-refundable.

​

Time frame for creating and shipping a painting

From the time it takes to create the painting until the painting is shipped can be as little as 2-3 weeks. Shipping usually takes 2-4 days within the continental U. S. Shipping times are usually about a week outside of the U.S., depending on distance and the time it takes for the package to clear customs.  

Payment for a commission

A payment of 50% is required before a commission will be started, with the remainder of the payment due  after a jpeg image of the finished painting has been approved. The buyer will be charged up front for the canvas only when the canvas must be special-ordered. 

Payment is accepted via Paypal or credit card.
