Commissions - The Process

"My paintings are about emotions and energy.  What is it about this person, this occasion, this place that is so significant for my client?  Capturing that – making them feel it every time they look at the painting – is my sacred trust and constant commitment.

No less fundamental to my process is providing value to each client.  It is difficult to generalize about pricing.  Subject, style and approach vary with each assignment.  Abstract, landscape, portrait.  Indoors or out, size of canvas, location where it will hang.  Paintings that are larger, contain more figures, or involve a more complex, detailed setting simply take more time to plan and execute.  This is necessarily reflected in the price.

Every commission is unique.  So, I work closely with each client to settle on a fee that reflects the assignment and their budget.
