What you should know if you are interested in commissioning a portrait:

• I prefer to work from photos, so their quality will determine the outcome of the finished product
• Portraits can be created with pencil (on paper) or oil (on stretched canvass or board)
• Prices vary, starting at $200. for pencil and $900. for an oil painting
• Prices vary depending upon the background, the extent of figures, details within clothing  and size
• Considerations and ideas from you are encouraged
