Commissions

COMMISSIONING ARTWORK

I offer a three types of commissioned work:

1. Commission of your EQUINE, CANINE, or any other ANIMAL subject.
2. Commission of your TAXIDERMY TROPHY.  Yes, I will recreate a portrait of your trophy deer, bear, moose, elk, etc.
3. Commission of WILDLIFE.  This is based on the unique wildlife you may have hanging around on your property.  I often will spend a week with the owners, scouting, tracking, locating and photographing the trophy animals you know of.

*For equestrian barns or guided services I give permission for all professional photography taken to be used for all your advertising needs.

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. Period!

My studio schedule is usually committed months to a year or more in advance with shows, gallery work, and existing commissions.  It is important to schedule as quickly as possible.

I offer a completely customized package to ensure the highest possible quality and your complete satisfaction.  I travel to visit the subject as I prefer to be in the setting and get to know my subjects. Smaller subjects have traveled to see me.  I am a professional photographer and use professional camera equipment to take hundreds of photographs to ensure the best quality possible.  I focus on lighting, subject poses, setting (scenery) and character. I really want to capture the animals’ true spirit.

In-State commissions start at $1500.00

Out-of-State commissions start at $2500.00

Includes: Large canvas acrylic and mixed media painting.  This is all depending on customers’ size limitation and where the painting is going to be displayed.  All professional photography will be included on a disk for the use of advertisement and or family sharing.
