Contact Me for a Custom Portrait / Black and White Oil Painting

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:11:48 -0500

$350.00
My goal is to capture the unique charm and character of an individual by focusing on their facial features.

Just send me your favorite candid photo and we will go from there! It really needs to be a high-resolution digital photo so I have more information to work with. If you are not sure which photo to use, I can help you decide which one would work best.

This listing is for a 16x20 stretched canvas. Have a different size painting in mind? Contact me and we can discuss options.

$175 is required before painting can begin and the remaining $175 plus shipping is due upon approval of the completed work (before your painting can be shipped).

Typical turnaround is 4 to 6 weeks so that the painting has sufficient time to dry before it is packed up.

Here is a fabric bowl I made from strips of shimmery cotton fabric and clothesline.
