Overseeing Your Painting

Please note, publishing works in progress on my blog are standard procedure for me. If you do not wish to have these images published (if they are intended for someone and you do not want to risk them stumbling upon it), please let me know beforehand and all progress will be kept private. I ask that my clients wait for their portrait proof before commenting on their work in progress, as my process may appear awkward to some. I assure you, the end result is worth waiting for!

I want you to LOVE your painting! Not just like it, but love it. Just browse through my gallery to view the comments left by clients and visitors!

I will send the final proof to you (digitally) for your approval before it is shipped. The intention is for you to take the opportunity to scrutinize the piece and be sure that it meets or exceeds your expectations. If you see any areas that you would like revised, that is the perfect time to let me know.

I will not send the proof until I am satisifed that your painting meets my own tough standards. I compare my work to the images I’m given to work from, so the better the image, the better the details!

Once you are completely satisfied and have notified me via e-mail, I will sign the painting, allow it to fully dry, varnish your portrait and ship (full payment must be received prior to shipping).

I use the USPS Priority Mail for shipping, and if you require an alternate shipping method or have an international address, additional shipping charges will apply.

Your painting will arrive ready to frame or hang directly on the wall, based on your selection of ground. If you would like me to select framing for you, provide gift wrap or gift card, additional charges will apply.

I will include a artwork specific Signed Certificate of Authenticity with your artwork, personalized to you or the intended recipient. These are things that are discussed at the end of your project.

As always, if you have any questions, please ask!
