I confer with the client on composition before painting.
I paint with time consuming care and attention to detail.

Deposit/Payment
In keeping with standard portrait professional practices, a non refundable deposit of half the total cost will be expected before I start. I will provide you with an invoice via e-mail. All major credit and debit cards are accepted via paypal. The balance of the commission is due when the painting is accepted by the client. Other payment options can be discussed; additional fees may apply.
My goal is to make the best work I’m capable of so that you will not only accept it, you’ll love it forever! But, if for any reason I don’t hit the mark, you simply don’t pay the other 50% and I keep the painting.
