To paint or quote, firstly I'll need some images of your pet, close ups, clear and in focus, wherever possible. If you have digital photo's please send them by email ( as high resolution as possible), but if you have film photographs and haven't got the use of a scanner you can post them to me and I'll return them in a few days, feel assured that I will guard them with my life!! If your pet has passed on and you don't have many good images, don't worry, just send me what you have and I'll do my utmost to re-create your precious pet.
Where possible I love to have a little information about your pet, their likes and dislikes, personality, their favourite toys, and indeed, what makes them or makes them so special to you. This snippet helps me connect and feel your pet when I'm painting, remember we spend a great deal of time with each other until your pet is ready to make their journey home.
My price list is for one head or in some cases head and shoulders in the various sizes. All other requests are to be quoted eg: two or more pets on the one painting, pets and owners, toys, backgrounds and custom size works. I am more than happy to quote, all quotes are free and there is absolutely no obligation to proceed.
If you decide to go ahead, we will together choose the best size painting for the pet. I'll quote for the completed work and the approximate date of completion, this will depend on my work load at the time. I like to establish the colour scheme and style of where your painting is to be hung so that where possible, (as being a qualified Interior Decorator & Designer as well),, I can colour co-ordinate the pastel and frame if you require framing, to your decor.
I require a 20% deposit to commence your painting, payable either by direct deposit, Money Order or Cheque.
Thank you.
You will receive update images of the progress of your pet painting throughout the process. When your pet is finished I'll email some digitals of the painting and a few choices of framing and matt boards if framing is required, if you are completely happy I will go ahead and frame your painting.
When your painting is framed you will receive a proof of the final work and if you are completely satisfied then I will require the balance of monies prior to delivery. At this stage I will quote for delivery, usually by Australia Post, on average postage is from $30.00 with insurance for framed works & from $15.00 for un-framed works. Keep in mind I can't guarantee my works if you have the framing performed else where.
You are very welcome to visit my studio to pick up your painting or anytime before to visit your painting on the easel.
