Description
Order original custom paintings of your pet, favorite animal, plant, fish, etc. Commissions are perfect for when you have an idea for art that speaks to your heart. By commissioning from me you are guaranteed a custom piece full of whimsy and flora & fauna created by a working, breathing artist. With a variety of sizes to choose from there are also a variety of price options. You can choose a simpler canvas panel or a more complex gallery wrapped canvas piece. Purchase your option and then work with me to create the custom piece you have been dreaming of.
Commissions make great gifts! The smaller options are the perfect option for a person on a budget looking to collect original art.
How to order
- Either before or after you place your order you will need to either fill out my contact form or add your notes upon checkout to let me know what your idea is for the painting. If you have a specific critter or pet in mind I will follow up and ask for a few high quality/ high resolution photos of the pet (a good trick to identifying the quality is to examine them to see if the image represents the true color and details of the critter). Sending more than a few photos is best, and ensures that I can create the highest quality, most accurate painting.
- You can tell me your preferred photo and I will make final decisions about composition and angle.
- You’ll also want to and tell me a bit about the critter/pet/flora. Why do you want this painting? What is the personality of the critter? Do you have a preferred color palette in mind? Stuff like that🙂
Completion
- Shipping dates are truly based on completion dates, and completion dates vary based on my commission load. Shoot me a message if you want an estimate, otherwise I will send you an estimate after I receive your order.
- Your payment ensures your spot in my cue. Ordering early is always best so if you have a specific date in mind consider ordering with a lot of lead time.
- I try my best to accommodate specifics dates such as birthdays and holidays (within reason), and I am also a busy artist and human with lots of stuff going on too. Please let me know when you would like it by and I will let you know if I can make it happen.
- Your painting should be complete within a month or two, again, depending on my current commission load.
Delivery and Shipping
- Flat rate shipping is charged for each box (if I need to ship more than one package I will be in contact to collect further payment before I ship your work).
- You will have a tracking number so you can monitor your piece once it ships 💌
Your Options
- Canvas panels:
- Are either 24-25 square inches
- They can fit one critter, one pollinator, plants, or one pollinator or critter with some flora.
- They are sent unframed and can either be propped up on a counter or windowsill or the customer can pop it picture frame.
- Gallery Wrapped Canvases:
- A gallery wrapped canvas does not need to be framed. I paint the edges of the canvas so it looks like one beautiful piece when it arrives in the panel.
- Gallery wrapped canvases stick out from the wall approximately 11/16 of an inch.
- A 6″ x 6″ or 8″ x 8″ can fit one critter. I suggest a critter with a pollinator and some floral.
- Pieces 8″ x 10″ and above can have one or two characters on them plus flora and pollinators.
- Larger commissions:
- I create commissions of all sizes. For larger commissions the price varies based on complexity of the piece. If you are interested in a larger commission please contact me.
