Commissions
I am delighted to embark on this artistic journey with you, bringing your vision to life through a bespoke painting.
Our collaboration begins with a thoughtful discussion, where we explore your specific requirements and artistic preferences. Following this initial exchange, I shall promptly send you an invoice via email, encompassing the total cost of the commissioned artwork. Rest assured, you will only be required to remit a partial payment amounting to 50% of the total, thus securing your booking. The remaining balance is to be settled prior to shipping.
I am earnestly looking forward to hearing from you and commencing this creative endeavor together. Your custom painting shall be a testament to artistry and emotion, a timeless reflection of your unique vision.
Please note: The timeline may vary depending on the complexity of the piece and the availability of supplies.
With the administrative aspects in order, I shall dedicate myself to the creative process. Anticipate a timeframe of approximately 6-8 weeks to meticulously procure the finest materials and meticulously paint your masterpiece. While I strive to adhere to this schedule, I remain committed to providing transparency and shall keep you informed of any potential 1-2 week extension should the need arise.
Once your commissioned artwork has reached an advanced stage of completion (approximately 90%), I shall present you with photographs for your final approval. This pivotal moment affords you the opportunity to request any adjustments, whether in terms of color palette, vibrancy, or intricate details. My objective is to ensure that the artwork impeccably aligns with your artistic vision and desires. Upon receiving your feedback, I will devote a few additional days to perfecting the piece, culminating in its readiness for shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does payment work?
To initiate the commission process, an invoice will be sent to cover the total amount of the artwork. However, only a 50% upfront payment is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance can be settled at any point before the painting is shipped to your location.
Payment and Refunds
Please note that the 50% upfront payment is necessary to facilitate the acquisition of supplies and commence work on your commissioned piece. As each artwork is custom-made to your specifications, payments are non-refundable once they have been made.
Custom Sizes
I am flexible with sizes and can accommodate a wide range of dimensions to suit your space perfectly.
Shipping and Stretching
Your painting will be shipped to you in a rolled format. To have it professionally stretched and secured onto bars, you can connect with an experienced framer or custom framing shop in your local area. Simply search for terms like "Framer near me," "Custom framing near me," or "Canvas shop near me" on Google to find suitable businesses. After locating a potential service provider, reach out to them with your painting's details, including its size and your desire to have it stretched on bars. They will guide you through the process, and all you'll need to bring is the painting itself.
How long does a commission take to complete?
The completion time for a commissioned artwork typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on factors such as size, complexity, and my current schedule. Before finalizing your booking, I will provide you with a personalized timeline estimate, carefully considering these factors to ensure a realistic and precise timeframe for your specificcommission.
