The cost of your portrait includes everything involved in making a beautiful portrait and having it sent safely to you. Shipping, insurance and all other costs are included and you will not be asked to pay any further fees. (Please not there may be some extra fees if major revisions are required which differ from your initial instructions and/or photos sent to us…but these cases are the exception.)

Part of the beauty of having an oil portrait commissioned is that you can customize it in ways limited only by your imagination and the images you can provide. We have painted many portraits for customers who combined elements of different photos or, quite often, photographs with other classical oil paintings. You can remove details from a photo as well, to create the ideal moment captured in a beautiful work of art.

Yes, if you send us a good image of any painting our artists can reproduce it for you.

Many of our customers send in extra photos solely to provide details and clarity that may be missing in the main photograph to be rendered into an oil painting. This is very helpful to our artists and helps to assure that the end result is as close to perfect as possible. Many customers also send in extra photos to have details added.

Yes, many of our customers turn old and damaged photographs into beautiful portraits. Such details can be added as color or even corrections to parts of the photographs that are damaged. Although we do prefer as clear photographs as possible to work with, in cooperation with our customers we have created some excellent art work from some very poor, old photographs. If the photo is too damaged, it may help to provide other images to help with details.
