Commission painting detail

Custom Commissions

A painting made
only for you

The most personal form of art ownership. We begin with a conversation, and end with something singular.

The Process

We begin with
a conversation

Every commission starts the same way — you tell me about something you love. A horse with a particular way of standing in morning light. A stretch of land that means something to you. A memory you want to hold onto.

From there, I work through sketches and color studies until we have a direction that feels right to both of us. You'll receive progress photos at every significant stage, and your input shapes the outcome.

What arrives at your door is something made specifically for you — not a print, not a reproduction. One original painting that belongs to your life.

How It Works

From concept to completion

01

Consultation

We discuss your vision — subject, size, medium, color palette, intended space. No commitment required.

02

Deposit & Timeline

A 50% deposit secures your place on the schedule. I'll send a detailed quote and specific timeline before you commit.

03

Creation

I paint with regular progress updates. You're invited to give feedback at key milestones before the work is complete.

04

Delivery

Final balance due before shipment. Your painting arrives insured, with a certificate of authenticity and care guide.

Investment

Pricing

Most commissions fall between $600 and $4,000. I'll send a detailed quote before you commit to anything.

What Affects Pricing

Size

Larger works require significantly more time and materials.

Medium

Oil commissions are priced higher than acrylic or watercolor due to drying and curing time.

Complexity

Detailed figurative work, multiple subjects, or complex backgrounds affect the final price.

Timeline

Rush commissions (under 4 weeks) carry a 25% premium.
