Why
not commission a work on your favourite subject? Original art holds a
unique integrity and appreciates well. For the price of a print from
one of the major galleries, you can own something special that will not
deteriorate with age, and may well go onto increase its value
significantly.
I
carry out commissions on almost all subjects, but aviation and
landscape requests comprise the majority. The process typically begins
with me creating a number of 'thumbnail' sketches to help visualise the
composition. Once agreed on, I begin the painting and supply
work-in-progress images through the process.
The prices listed for my
originals
will give you a size/price guide, but email or 'phone me to discuss the
subject and I'll give you a quote. As a guide, I charge approximately
US$3.00 per square inch for smaller sizes, and $3.80 per square inch
for large ones, eg. 45cm X 90cm X $3.50. I reserve the
right to increase the rate for compositions that are more complex or
require extensive research. These prices
include postage. Paintings are on fine-grain canvas, and are shipped
unmounted.
