Commission rates            click to see sample commissioned paintings
Paintings done by special request are encouraged.  Paintings may be done from earlier paintings or from photos.  The artist prefers to be able to visit the location to be painted and to take her own photos. However, if the purchaser has several good photos that give a good representation of the subject, a commission might be acceptable. Light is critical.

The estimated price of a painting done at the request of a purchaser begins with a base rate of $300 for the first  sq. ft*.  Every sq. ft. thereafter is an additional $200.

A deposit of 30% is required. Five days after receipt of deposit, it becomes non-refundable.

If the purchaser requests a frame, it is an additional cost.  Shipping is also additional. Paintings delivered in Colorado will include sales tax.

* Example: an 10” x 14” painting is less than one sq. ft. The estimated cost would be $300.

     12” x 24” is 288 sq. in or 2 sq. ft (288 divided by 144).  The estimated cost would be figured this way:  1st  sq. ft. = $300.  1 sq. ft additional would be $200.  Total estimated cost: $500. Actual price can be higher, depending on how many elements are in the painting. Estimates are the same for watercolors, oils, or acrylic paintings.
