Ordering Information & Prices

Ordering a Commissioned Portrait:

  Send me the picture you would like me to draw (or, if you prefer, send multiple pictures and I will choose one). You can send it through the mail or via email, but make sure that it is high-quality, with good lighting, and a large size. If you send via email, please send the largest possible size you can (no smaller than 4 x 6), and if you send through 'snail mail' try to take the image to WalMart or a digital photo center and get it enlarged. Ideally, the picture should be around 8" by 11", but I do understand that this is not always possible. This is okay! I can work around limitations.
  The most important part of a commissioned piece is capturing the personality of the animal in question. Because of this, I like to get a feel for your horse - I like to see a few pictures and I always appreciate it when people take the time to tell me about their horse. Really capturing the mischievous spark, or intelligent gaze that makes your horse special is what will set your portrait apart.

PLEASE NOTE - if the picture was taken by a professional, I would appreciate the photographer's consent to use the image. If it is impossible to do so, please include the photographer's name (if you have it). All work I do is put into my gallery and I like to give due credit to the other artists out there who must make a living!

I work primarily in oil pastel, but also accept commissions for graphite and colored pencil portraits at the same prices. In the near future I plan to offer watercolor commissions as well.

Gallery portraits (non-commissioned art) are individually priced, and prices can be viewed in the Gallery. For portraits of more than one horse, horses with other animals, or other types of portraits that are not listed, please email [email protected]. I will base the price on the picture itself. Payments are accepted via check, money order, or PayPal.
