Portrait Commission prices
I can work from your photos and we can discuss from a selection of images you provide what will work best and how to crop it. I will create a quick digital mockup of the reference I will paint for your approval. I can also work in a few live sittings with humans, or help you get a good photo if you don’t have a photo we think will work. Let’s discuss!
Additional figure pricing is per figure/likeness you want to include. Background is average starting point for anything more complex & representational, symbolic, etc other than basic tones or color to add to the composition. The small sizes I do not offer this option.
I am also available to paint portraits live at any event within the GTA and provide private art classes or tutoring for any age or level at your home. Scroll down for more info.

Live Painting
Options include me creating original art of my own choosing and I keep it, but I am there as part of the entertainment for you & your guests. I will provide a digital mockup of the work I will be doing, and your guests can watch an original work of art be created before their eyes. It can still be purchased at any point in the event or after.
Alternatively for a custom piece made exclusively for you, your event, you can commission a work to keep, which we will discuss in advance. I will prepare a digital mockup for your approval before the event.
Please familiarize yourself with my style which is expressive realism with generally loose brushstrokes. I will not be painting every detail as this is not my taste or way I work. I am more concerned with creating a work of art you want to hang in your home or office that brings a likeness, character, an emotion, a recall of a moment or feeling.
***If I am painting in oils, it’s important to know that the painting will not be dry and it is recommended that I take it with me to touch it up as necessary, let it dry for a couple of weeks, and varnish prior to delivering to you. I use odorless solvents, but if that is an issue at the event, please let me know. I can also paint in acrylic, so it can be taken home immediately, though the look is a slightly different and I still recommend my taking it home to finish and touch up if necessary.
