Things to know…

First of all, thank you for considering a commission from me!  Over the years I have learned what motivates me, what I like and don’t like while creating new work and that if I am to create something for a client, that it’s something I would ultimately create for myself as well. With that in mind, I’ve come up with some guidelines for my clients, should they choose to move forward with a commission.

~ I work from reference photos, so while I’m open to ideas, ultimately I would like to choose the image I am going to recreate into a painting. Typically, we agree on an idea or subject, but I will come up with images to present to you, any of which I would be confident painting and you can decide which you’d like. 

~ I create work that typically has a blank background, utilizing negative space in a manner to convey the importance of the image represented.  I will maintain full artistic license of choosing this background colour, as it is important to the integrity of the final look. 

~ It is important to me that any commissions I should take on, will represent my unique style and blend into my body of work.  I have to assume you are approaching me because you love my existing work and would like your own piece to begin a collection. 

~ Because I usually have a full schedule maintaining and providing work to several galleries, I may charge 15%- 25% on top of my regular pricing to account for the extra time I will take for your commission if it is outside of my timeline.  I can let you know at the time what my schedule is like and if/what extra I would charge. 

~ I ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit made payable through PayPal, credit card or as an E-transfer before I begin the work and the remaining 50% upon completion, before I release it.  The client is responsible for any shipping charges and I can provide quotes through the courier of your choice.

~If you are in Canada, I do have to charge tax on your painting which is non-negotiable.
