In order to create an original artwork of the utmost quality, I follow a set procedure to best ensure that each of my portraits lives up to the highest standards. All due consideration will be given to best accommodate your schedule.

Once the decision has been made to have a portrait done, I will send you a contract which clarifies the terms and specifications of the commission.

The first step is to meet and discuss the specifics of your portrait. This initial meeting is an opportunity for us to get better acquainted and to sign off on the contract.

The next step is the photography session. This photo shoot can be done in my studio or at an agreed site.

After a photo is chosen, I will put together a digital, compositional sketch, to convey to you a sense of what the finished portrait will look like. After the study is approved I will begin the full sized portrait. At that point, I will be able to estimate the date of completion. During the painting process, some additional detail photos would be very helpful.

The completed portrait will be delivered to you or directly to your framer of choice.
