QUESTIONNAIRE
The first step is to complete the commission questionnaire and read through the Commission FAQs. A few short questions provides me all the specifics of your request and allows me to work up an estimate for you to consider. If possible, please attach images of your space where the painting will be installed with the questionnaire. This is a big help!

COST ESTIMATE & SCHEDULING
You will receive your estimate via email. If we agree to move forward, at this point I will invoice you via Paypal for the deposit payment (50% of the total cost not including shipping, nonrefundable),

which puts your project on my schedule. The wait time varies, typically 4-7 weeks - but we will work out any deadlines prior to invoicing.

SMALL PAINTING STUDIES
This is where the fun begins! I will complete & photograph 3-5 paintings on paper for you to review. These little studies will convey the general composition and colour arrangement, giving me a direction for your larger original. This is the time when we work together on any adjustments that you would like. I also complete color studies for you to approve at this point.

YOUR ORIGINAL CANVAS
Once you feel good about the colour choices/composition, I move on to your actual canvas. There is a spontaneity and energy that goes into each piece, which gives your original a unique feel. This also means the canvas will of course not be an exact match to the studies on paper, but will certainly be guided by them. Once completed, official photos and detail shots are emailed. After the painting has been approved, you are invoiced for the final cost (the final 50%, plus shipping) - then your painting gets securely packed & sent to you!

MINIMUM ORDER
There is a minimum order amount of $500.

TIME FRAME
Once begun, commissioned paintings generally take 4-10 weeks for completion (includes the entire process outlined above).

REPLICATE A PAINTING?
I like to ensure that each client's piece is unique, so I never set out to exactly replicate a specific painting. But I am happy to create a different version of an existing painting, that is similar yet unique! Please bear in mind that exact colour matching is not always possible with my technique.

SHIPPING
Pieces will arrive wired and ready to hang.

REFUNDS
You are under no obligation to purchase the painting if you aren't happy with the end result. The invoice originally paid (50% of the total cost) can count towards store credit in my shop, but is nonrefundable. Once the FINAL invoice (the last 50% of the total cost) is paid, no refunds, shop credit, or exchanges are given.
If for any reason either party cancels the commission after the initial studies have been completed but before the canvas has been started, a partial refund of the Deposit Payment will be given. This refund will be $100 minus the Deposit Payment amount. This $100 fee covers my time consulting, creating, and materials used.
