I can create custom and odd shaped artworks in any size, color or theme you need to make your décor perfect!

If you've been searching for a painting in a particular theme, style, size or color scheme, why not have me create it for you? Not only will you save your time and get exactly what you want, you’ll have the satisfaction of being the co-creators!

How does it work?
Most people have never commissioned a painting before but it’s easy and fun! And, it doesn’t have to be expensive. Here’s the plan:

Step 1. Determine the location. If it was perfect, where would it be? Don’t limit your own creativity or wish list because you think hanging it on the ceiling or 20’ high in a large split level entrance would be too difficult. I’ll handle that end. 

Step 2. Determine the image and color scheme. If it was perfect, what would it be? Maybe you like a few of my paintings and want something similar or you have an old photo or magazine clipping you like. Fortunately I can and like to paint in a diverse range of styles as you’ve probably noticed and have over 100 limited edition images in print. Selecting your favorites from the list can help your decision. Some folks keep paint and fabric color swatches of their décor which can be easily worked in.

Step 3. Determine the size, shape and other requirements for your ideal painting. I like to help at this stage. I can visit with you in your home, take some digital photos and make some recommendations. This is especially nice if you live in Hawaii, Spain or other exotic setting and choose to fund my trip!!! Unfortunately I can also work with photos mailed or emailed to me if the latter isn’t an option…
Thanks to the wonder of modern science, I can superimpose a simulated painting onto the photo and show you how it will look in the end. This is great if you have trouble visualizing such things.

Step 4. Go ahead. When we’ve agreed on the proposed artwork and price, I require a deposit of 25% to begin and the balance when delivered. 

Step 5. That’s it! A few weeks later you’ll have a shiny new painting that fits like a glove. Nice thing is, you’ll have participated in its creation which can be very rewarding.

A few of my commissioned paintings can be seen on my web site on the Commissions Gallery.
