In general, at current rates, commissioned portraits in oil range from $3500, and those in watercolor range from $1500. I work both from life and from photographs (usually those I've taken myself in the subject setting). Travel is a major cost variable, and it can significantly add to the price, as will more than one subject in the painting.
Artist Statement/Bio
My paintings and drawings are in the realist, atalier traditon.
I always strive for gesture, color, and aesthetic composition.
Commissions are always welcome.
Although I have been painting in oil and watercolor, and drawing in various modes all my life, I've only been a professional artist for the last decade. I'm a roster artist with Shreveport Regional Arts Council, and a Hoover Society watercolorist. I belong to Portrait Society of America, and Oil Painters of America.
