If you have been here before, you will notice major changes.
I AM NOW OFFERING MY ANCESTOR PORTRAITS AS OIL PAINTINGS instead of giclee prints.
The first part of the process remains the same. I begin work when I have received half the payment. A further 25% will be due after your approval of the digital image. The balance is due on approval of the final painting. The price I charge varies with the requests of the client. For instance, There would be an extra charge to work with two or more subjects in the same painting. I can add personal items to the portrait, such as favorite toys or items with special significance to the family. In the past I have incorporated a family crest in others a brooch or a portrait in the background of the owner or deceased pet. I know that most artists have strict break-down of prices, but I do not work from a formula. Every portrait is as different as the requests of the client and the character of the subject. However here is a rough guide.
12x16 $650 16x24 $850 24x35 $1,200.00 35x47 $1,400.00
I require the best available pictures of the subject. Preferably high definition digital. Paws when possible. I would prefer to have at least one conversation with you before I begin work. It helps me a great deal to understand how you feel about your animal companions.
Thank you again for your interest. I look forward to hearing from you. valerieleonard@sbcglobal.net
