Pricing
Most of my work is commissioned and I sell directly to my customers. I set my prices based on time, materials, size, and complexity of subject matter.
Commissions are always welcome and I enjoy working with clients to create unique works of art that bring their vision to life. I have set some standard prices based on past commissions. Below are some examples of artwork that I have done and prices I would sell comparable commissions for:
-

Miscellaneous subject matter on cedar boards
This client wanted a 20 x 16 inch sign with a cow, painted on cedar boards. This type of commission would typically cost $400.
Bison, Acrylic 24 x 36 inches
This was painted for a client who wanted an abstract Yellowstone inspired painting with realistic bison based on pictures she had taken in South Dakota. This type of commission would run $800 for a 24x36 inch painting.
Butterfly on Flowers, Acrylic 48 x 36 inches
Butterfly painting with hidden jewelry box hanging on wall
Inside jewelry box
This was created for a client that wanted a large painting with a hidden jewelry box behind it to store her necklaces. The painting was based on a photo of a butterfly she had taken in her garden and was painted on a 48 x 36 inch canvas. I attached the painting to a jewelry box I built, which included hooks on the inside to hold many necklaces. A commission similar to this (large painting + jewelry box) would cost $2800.
Tiger at Dawn, Acrylic 48 x 36 inches
Wildlife Painting
Wildlife is one of my favorite subject matters for painting. A commissioned painting of an animal such as this tiger would cost $3000 for a 48 x 36 inch painting.
