I accept commissions for both landscapes and animals. I love to work with you to create a painting of a special place or memory. I can work from your photos or my own depending on the vision you have for your painting.  Please contact me to discuss your ideas, prices and painting sizes.

ABOUT MY PET PORTRAITS

My work has been described by many as painterly, soft and vibrant and the medium of soft pastel fits my style perfectly.   I am not  a photo realistic painter but I strive to capture the uniqueness of the animals I paint through my color choices and pastel application.  I love to find the composition and poses that capture the animal's personality best.  I like to go beyond the traditional 'portrait' pose and create a piece of fine art.

If we decide to go ahead with the painting I will require a 20% deposit.  When I complete the painting I will email or post to my blog digital images of the painting.  If you are satisfied, then the balance of the payment is due. I accept personal checks and credit card payment through PayPal. Checks will need to clear my account before I can ship the painting.

SHIPPING

Your finished painting will be carefully packaged between sheets of foamcore, the painting protected by glassine paper. I use USPS Priority Mail and I will contact you with the Delivery Confirmation number so you can track the package.

PRICING

I use the finest soft pastels on archival pastel papers. Paintings are not matted or framed as I feel framing is a very personal decision. I do provide you with care and framing tips.
