How To Order Custom Work
The most important element of a custom painting is a quality reference photo. A clear, well-lit image shows me all of the vital details that I love to include in all of my work, and that’s what makes a work extra special, especially with pet portraits. I prefer to work from just one great photo, rather than trying to combine features from different photos. I understand that for memorial pet portraits or surprise gifts, sometimes you are limited in your photo choices. In this case, you and I will discuss the available photos and we can come up with a plan.
Once I have a good reference photo, I can give you a firm price and I’ll ask for 50% deposit, via Venmo, PayPal, check or cash. Then I will get started! My turn-around time varies depending on my availability, but typically I can get it finished within a couple of weeks. I will send you a photo when I think I’m done and once I have your approval and final payment, I will mail it off, or if you’re near 75205, I offer porch pick-up.
Email me if you have a project in mind, include reference photos, and I’d love to discuss it with you!
