Commissions
(Bentley with himself. 🐾)
Why commission a portrait?
We love our families and pets. Portraits celebrate them.
The commissioned portrait is an original piece of art to be cherished forever. We say thank you for all the beautiful memories and special times. Together, you and I capture a moment in time.
My Commission Process
1. It begins with a conversation where we discuss the details. Who is the subject? Is this a gift? What is the final size and pricing?
2. I work from reference photos and from life. It's very helpful to provide a number of high quality photos, so I can see all the facial details.
3. With a 50% initial payment and signed agreement, I begin working on your portrait.
4. When the portrait is completed, I will e-mail a photo for your approval. Once approved, the final payment is collected and your portrait is delivered. Shipping and handling fees and taxes (if applicable) will be added to the final payment. Cash, check and credit cards are accepted.

How much time does it take? Plan for up to 1-2 weeks for portrait drawings. I will let you know what to expect. It will depend on my current workload. If you need your portrait sooner, let me know.
To get started, fill out the form on my contact page letting me know what kind of portrait you would like.
