COMMISSIONS
CAT & DOG PORTRAITS
9x12, 12x12 and 12x16 sizes typically work best for doing headshots or the shoulders up of your pet.
Background will either be left white or will include a very simple background color so that your pet stands out in the portrait.
DEER MOUNT PORTRAITS
20x28 size is used to ensure there is plenty of room for detail work. Please make sure photos of your mount are clear,
hi-res images where I can see the correct colors and all the details.
Background will either be left white or will include a very simple background color so that your mount stands out in the portrait.

These commission prices do not apply to custom commissioned wildlife artwork such as lynx, elk, moose, etc.
My artwork is completed with pastels on pastelmat.
BOOKING
To book your slot, a 25% deposit will be required. The balance + tax (in Iowa only) & shipping will be
due at the completion & approval of the portrait.
A high resolution photo will also be required and must be approved at the time of your booking. Please see the info below in regards to taking and providing the best quality photo of your pet.
For more than 2 subjects in a portrait, please contact me for a custom quote.

FRAMING
I work with an amazing framer that is a family run business who have been in business for over 30 years. We work together
to select a mats and a frame that compliment each portrait. Having your portrait matted & framed is available at an
additional cost, which varies depending on the size of the portrait. I do highly recommend that you have your portrait
framed matted & framed before shipping to protect the delicate pastel work during shipping, however I will send artwork unframed if you prefer to choose your own mat and frame.

SHIPPING
Commissions will be sprayed with fixative, packaged in a cello bag and shipped with chipboard in a rigid mailer. They will be shipped without a mat or frame unless the customer requests framing. Portraits that are framed will ship directly from my framer.
I ship within the US as well as all over the world. If you are outside the US, please contact me
for a custom international shipping quote.
