Let Me Make Some Art For You
So you've decided to commission your own custom painting or drawing? I'd be happy to do it for you. First, see my tips for a good reference photo below. Then, email [email protected], and we'll get the ball rolling.
“Sara painted a wonderful portrait of her Grandfather for his 92nd birthday. It was Grandpop’s last birthday. It really looked like him and what made it even better is that there was a gold record surrounding him to represent his music career. He wrote Let’s Twist Again and Don’t Hang Up among many other songs. Sara is a wonderful artist that puts her heart into every painting she does.” My Aunt Roz Appell
“I commissioned Sara to paint a portrait of me, knowing that she would bring her own unique vision to it. When she presented it to me, i was thrilled. It excèeded my expectations by being totally cool and still being recognizably me. Sara’s quirky vision produced exactly what i was looking for. Thanks Sara.” Lindy Engstrom

Here are some examples of my people and pet portraits so you have an idea of what to expect. Not all of these were commissions.

Please note:The above prices are what I would charge for a fairly basic painting or drawing. If you want something very intricate or have a lot of special requests, this will drive up the price. Also, please download and read my "Commission Policies" and "Reference Photo" documents if you are commissioning me for the first time.
Below is my contract for commissions.If you’re not sure of the size you want, you can email me a copy of the photo you want me to use (please download and read my reference photo doc for more info about this) to my email address at [email protected] and I can put it in my image editor and use that to show you what it would look like in various sizes. I can do this for you free of charge. You won’t owe me the deposit until you’ve decided on a size and officially ordered your painting. If you decide you want a painting, but are still unable to decide on a size, then a painting with one figure will be an 8x10 and one with two figures will be a 9x12. Please download, scan, sign, and send it back to me.
Important: Commission emails must include a size or request for photoshop sizes. I’ll also need a signed, scanned copy of the contract below and a fifty percent deposit. I will not start work on any commission without both of these things.
