At times requests have been made for commissioned original artwork. My art portfolio presently has a focus on both landscapes and landscape within wildlife and wildlife, most requests should fall within those Genre boundaries, but domestic or farm animal portraits will be considered. A written description of the project is required that can be the basis of subsequent discussions when moving forward. Potential clients should consider the project parameters which directly impact the overall cost. Two primary considerations in any project undertaken should be the artwork size and the medium used - these effect the time for completion and material cost.
The artist does have an extensive original photo library of both landscapes and wildlife from which to draw upon for his work. Photos or any other source material submitted by a potential client must not have any copyright infringements on them if being used. Photos created and supplied by the client are permissible. Deadlines need to be discussed, but remain flexible. Final framing and matting of paintings, drawings or stands for sculptures need to be discussed and are an additional cost to the project.
