PORTRAITS - OIL ON CANVAS

Portraiture is a noble and time honored art form.  A fine art portrait exquisitely captures a moment in the life of a child or adult, enriching the legacy of a family or nation. A certain smile, capricious pose, pensive look or celebrated glance - all are subtleties recorded in the painting.

Commissioning a work of art is a partnering process. During our initial meeting, the intended use of the work, the subject and general composition are discussed. A photo session of the subject(s) may be scheduled. Several digital images are taken and together we select one for the portrait. Work is often done from photographs, especially when the subject is a child.  My preference is to work from life if possible.  It is most important that you are pleased with the completed work.  No finished work is sold that is not acceptable to the client.

Below are price ranges. Canvas size will vary based on the composition. There is a 25% increase for each additional subject within the same composition.  Sales taxes, framing and shipping are not included.  If travel is required, transportation and lodging are reimbursable expenses.  A non-refundable deposit of 15% with a signed contract is required prior to beginning the portrait. The balance is due upon acceptance of the work.  All work is copyright protected and may not be reproduced without the written consent of the artist.
