About my portraits
under construction
Everyone has different ideas as to how they would like their picture to look. It is my job to try and figure out exactly what they want!
Some things you should consider are:
Do you have a favorite artist or art style?
How big do you want it to be?
How much of the figure do you want in the picture?
How many figures do you want in the picture?
What kind of background do you want?
Do you want to include animals or other features?
Where is this going to hang?
Do you want it to color coordinate with a certain room or area?
Just a few of the decisions you will have to make!
You are buying a piece of personalised art.

Most commonly asked questions......how much?....how long?
How much depends on various choices, like size, color, number of people,type of frame etc.
I will give you some average prices but remember, each work is priced on an individual basis.

A monochromatic work approximately life scale, head and shoulders, like the charcoal shown above ranges from 100 to 200 dollars.
Full color pastel head and shoulders,at the same approximate size ranges from 200 to 400 dollars.
This price is based on the work only it does NOT include frames which range from about 60 dollars and up depending on how elaborate you wish to get.

How long depends on what exactly you want. Once you decide on what exactly you want it should take about 3 to 5 weeks. This may vary due to my work load. Around holidays I can be very backed up but you will be given an accurate estimate. It is best to order early if you need the work for a specific time.
I do prefer to try and do some of the work from life but I understand that this is not always possible.
I prefer also to photograph the subject myself rather than work from family snap shots. If that is all that is available then I do the best I can!
