Commission a Portrait

Decorate your home or office with a museum-quality original hand-painted portrait. While historically, portrait paintings have primarily memorialized the rich and powerful, now you can commission a colorful one-of-a-kind hand-painted portrait at a price that meets your budget. Weather your goal is to commission a portrait of yourself, family members, friends or collegial groups, you simply fill out our portrait questionnaire to schedule a one-on-one consultation with the artist to obtain your quote.

Painting entitled "Mother and Daddy Kirkwood"

During your consultation, the artist will go over the portrait questionnaire with you to gain an understanding of the inner essence of the subject (from your point of view) to ensure the resulting painting is a flattering representation of the subject and not just a literal likeness. The portrait consultation covers your budgetary goals and topics such as:

  • the subject’s overall depiction – “full-length” (the whole body), “half-length” (from head to waist or hips), “head and shoulders” (bust), or just the head,
  • the placement of the subject’s head – “full face” (front view), profile view (side view); or somewhere in between, and
  • the size and framing – its overall dimensions and the style and width of the frame.

Your collectable arrives to you stretched, framed and ready to hang. You also receive a Certificate of Authenticity with the raised 3-Tech seal and signed by the artist that includes: the name of the artwork, the original medium, the dimension of the artwork, and the date of the purchase.

Who is the main subject of the portrait?
Do you want a portrait or a likeness? Is this an indoor scene, outdoor scene, bust only, whole body, etc.?
