Commissions & Portraiture

I am pleased to undertake commissioned work. Inside, outside, human, animal, realistic or abstract. Got an ugly wall or an ugly electric box? I can fix that!

I create both human portraits and pet portraits, even truck portraits, and I’m happy to do so on commission. Any of those can be done from a photo. If you don’t have a good photo, no problem. I can work from a series of not-so-good photos and create what you don’t have.

Commissioned outdoor mural. What to do when the new door is narrower than the old one, and you don’t want to reside the whole house? Plant lupines!

Pricing

I am happy to execute portraits in either watercolor or oils.

For pet portraits, watercolor portraits run around $200; oils run around $300. For human subjects, I will provide a price quote based on complexity of setting and number of subjects.

Portrait of Mason Ingram. This is a watercolor and it was done from a live sitting documented by a photo.
Watercolor portrait of my Japanese bobtail cat Tabi. Done from a rather poor-quality black-and-white snapshot.
