~Accepting Commissions~

I accept commissions for portraits for horses, dogs, cats, birds, critters, reptiles, exotic animals, farm animals, wildlife and any other animal. I do portraits from a photograph using either graphite pencil (black & white), colored pencil and watercolors.

1. First, decide what you want. Whether it's the whole body of your animal, or just head and shoulders. Decide on the size of the portrait you want and the medium.

2. Next, you'll need to fill out a Portrait Commission Form, which you'll receive by mail. I will need this form to be sent back to me, along with $30 deposit (the $30 is non refundable), and 2 to 5 photographs of your animal. I do not accept computer printouts.

3. Once I get that, I'll sent you a scanned rough draft of how the portrait is going to look like. I will also let you know how long will it take me to finish your piece. Usually, it takes me up to two weeks to complete the piece. The time may vary, however, depending on the amount of commissions I have at that time, their size, medium and difficulty of work.

4. All work is shipped via Priority Mail, in large envelopes, where the work is securely placed between two, unbendable boards. It is my top priority that all my customers are satisfied with my work. If for any reason you are not happy with your portrait, you will get your money back within 5 business days.
