Portrait painting is a very important undertaking for both artist and client. A portrait will last for many generations long after we're gone. I will always strives to create the best quality masterpiece at the highest standards.

A portrait is a collaboration between the artist and patron.  First we must initiate a dialogue and consider the scope of portrait and determine the price. I will do my best to accommodate both your budget and your vision. Please contact me to discuss the cost and specifics of commissioning a custom oil portrait painting or to receive an estimate.

At this time Portrait fees start at $350. The price is based on the following factors: the number of people or pets in the painting; how much of the subject is to be depicted; the size of the painting; the details involved in painting intricacy of clothing, jewelry and props, and the complexity of the background setting.

Travel expenses, shipping fees and any state or city sales tax, where applicable are additional. A one third non-refundable deposit is required with a signed contract. A second payment of one third is due when the color study is approved. The balance is due when the completed portrait is delivered to and accepted by the client.

The following cost estimates below are based on approximate life size single figure oil portraits painted against simple backgrounds.
