Commissions: Watercolors | Inks | Book Illustrations

Commemorate:

If you have a favorite person or animal in your life that has passed away and you have decent photos to pull from, I can do for you, a beautiful work of art to commemorate them.  Too many people let this opportunity pass until it is too late and they are left with worn out photos of them that are only at least a 9 x10 .  This gives you a chance to have a memorial that you can pass on to the family when you are gone. And if you are a breeder of Dogs or Horses, this is a perfect chance to show off their attributes and make them as fantastic and valuable as they are.

• Terms
  I will work with you on the rough sketches until we have the person or animal correct.  If you do not like the piece after we have gone over all this, I keep 1/3 or 1/2 down you gave me (and of course the art).  You will sign an agreement saying this before I start, along with submittal of 1/3 or 1/2.

• Watercolors -  These are the most expensive.  They state at $700.00.  The example shown of the two women and the family home was $900.00.  I charge $25.00 for each additional subject. 

The smallest work is 2' x 2' .  Any piece smaller, I believe, is not worth your money.  To put in the detail I do, the bigger the better.

• Inks - These start at $500.00.  Same size as watercolors.  You have the option of using colored inks to add contrast to the eyes or the garment.  We can go Ink Line, or Ink Line Wash.  I must forewarn you, Ink Link Wash looks much better for features.

• Book Illustrations - I will illustrate your book.  I have examples of my work in the past, having to do with children's stories.  The price is $25/hr.  I believe this is very reasonable.  A firm will cost you more.
