Commissions
As an artist, I enjoy the challenge of working with you, the client to create a custom painting of your house, your beach stairs or your boat.

Here's how it has worked for past commissions and how I suggest it would work for you.

- I will review your photographs or, if possible, take some reference pictures to see if I could make a meaningful painting.
- I will develop a composition or two using photos and offer these suggested compositions to you.
- If I determine that I can make a good picture and you agree with one of my suggested compositions, I will require a $600 nonrefundable commission fee to develop the painting.
- When I finish the painting, you can select a print (or prints) at any size at the same cost as is published on my website. If you do not like the finished painting there is no obligation to purchase a print.
- I will reserve the right to market additional prints of the painting.
- If you require an exclusive on the picture, we would have to negotiate a much higher fee.

Below are some examples of successful past commissions.
