Portrait Commissioning It is useful to remember that the portrait is an interpretation through the eyes of the artist. My intend is not just to create a representation of the person, but to create a piece of fine art. If you would like to commission a portrait please contact me. A oil on canvas work approximately 16 x 20" is $850 and a 16 x 30" is $1,025. I work from photographs. All portraits are delivered unframed and does not include framing costs. Prices do not include any sales tax that may apply. Any shipping costs, including crating and insurance, are additional.
