HOW TO ORDER ARTWORK: Please email or call me if you
would like a commission art. I work with galleries and businesses as
well as private clients. I am reliable and experienced, as you can see by my
resume, I have done a variety of work for various employers and clients. I will
need time to do artwork, so plan ahead. |

PLAN AHEAD FOR COMMISSIONING
ARTWORK:
Please allow sufficient
time when planning to commission artwork for a gift. I work on artwork in the order that I receive
the deposit for the commission. The time to finish will depend on what style of artwork you are
interested in purchasing and the number of orders ahead of your artwork. The more detail involved, the more time it will take.
Photorealistic colored pencil art is very time consuming, as well as detailed
oil paintings. Also oils take about a month to dry sufficiently
for packaging for shipping, They actually do not dry thoroughly for a year
to 2 years depending on conditions, however can be shipped after a few weeks
depending on size. Never put anything on the surface of your
oil painting. |

COMMISSION ART
GUIDELINES AND POLICY INFORMATION: Please email me with the information of ‘what’
you would like to have painted and your ‘time’ that you need to have it
finished and shipped. I will respond as to whether I will paint what you
would like and my availability to finish in your time table.
You can send me the photos you want me to paint via email or actual
photos via US Postal Service. If you send me actual photos I will return
your materials with the artwork. Please see photo requirements at bottom
page.
Once I have worked on the painting I will take digital photos of the
art and email them to you. At that time you can makes minor change (
color, etc.) or approve the artwork. If you are not happy with the
artwork, I will refund your deposit money. The artwork then becomes my
property to sell as I wish. If you are happy with the artwork, I will send you the price for the
artwork, and shipping and tax charges. |

TERMS / DOWN PAYMENT / CANCELLATION POLICY:
Although
many artists require full payment before starting artwork, I
only ask for a 25% down payment to start the
artwork. I do not start the artwork until I have this down payment in my
hands. This insures me you are sincere about wanting the artwork. Reason: There have been a few times when I have started someone’s
artwork, (which means my time and art materials) and the client changed
their mind (before I had time to show them the artwork). If you cancel AFTER I start the painting I do not refund the
deposit money.
I have already used my materials (paper, oils, etc) which cost me money.
I reserve the right to cancel the order if the purchaser is not willing to
comply by the following information.
|
|
PRIVACY POLICY: I
do not share any information about you. If you do not want your art
on my website please let me know. Any information about the art does
not give away any of your information. |
|
RUSH ORDER:
If you need a RUSH ORDER, I
request full payment before starting.
This eliminates the waiting time for payment to be sent in the mail. If I have
the full payment up front, then I can send the artwork out 'as soon as
you approve it'. If you order from JC Penny
catalog, you send then full payment first. As always if you are not
happy with it your money will be refunded |
|
PHOTO REQUIREMENTS:
Please do not send me copyrighted photos taken
at portrait studios such as Olans Mills, Sears, Penny’s, etc. unless you
have copyright release allowing artists to use photo for artwork. Ask
them for one when purchasing photos. Photos must be of good quality in size and focus. Do not send a 4x6
photo with the face being about the size of a dime in the photo. For a
portrait the face should be at least half the photo to 3/4th of photo
and clear focus.
I reserve the right to cancel if the photo is
not good enough quality for accurate representation. |
|
RETURN POLICY OF ARTWORK:
I would never want anyone to
keep my artwork if they were not happy with it, therefore you may return the
artwork, no questions asked, within one (1) week of receiving it. I will return
the cost of the artwork to you. Postage charge is not
returned. You will be
responsible for the return shipping and handling with insurance included. Damaged artwork will not be refunded if insurance was
