How To Commission a Painting

I work from my imagination, and from photo references too. If you have an idea for a painting, describe it to me and I’ll work up sketches until you’re happy with how it looks before I make the painting. If you have seen a painting you liked on my website and found that is already sold, I can create a similar painting for you. Otherwise, if you have a specific subject in mind, such as a portrait, or a favorite pet, send me as many photos of it as you can. These can either be emailed as small .jpgs, or post the photos to me. Provide a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope and I’ll send them back to you. Please specify the following:
