Portfolio > Commissions

Special commissions accepted. Subjects have included pets, houses, boats, and even a special rendition of a wedding bouquet (a unique way to preserve the moment). These are a just a sampling of what I've done but I am willing to work on other subjects as well. I work from your photo(s) and any special instructions. Prices and sizes vary, and are negotiable. Framing and shipping are included in the price for commissioned pieces. The following are some examples of this type of work.
