How it works...
Step One: Reserve Your Spot
When you are ready to book, just click on the "Book Now" button and secure your spot with a $200 non-refundable deposit. By accepting your commission, I reserve dedicated time exclusively for you and turn away other opportunities to ensure my full commitment to your project. For this reason, the deposit is non-refundable.
Step 2: Send me your reference photos
Once you have booked, you will receive an email with further instructions for sending your reference photos, including the details about when I will need them and my tips for choosing a reference for the most beautiful results. If you are uncertain which photo to choose, feel free to send all your favorites, I am happy to provide feedback and help you decide! At this point, I will also ask you to share your preferences for background color. Don't worry, you will be able to get a good idea of what the background will look like with your reference in the mock up step which comes next. I encourage you to also share something special about your pet which I will keep in mind as I paint your portrait, as I believe it helps me to create an artwork that evokes an emotional connection with the viewer.
If you are undecided, send me your f

Step Three: The Mock-Up
I will create a basic basic mock-up using your reference photo and up to ten different background color options based on the color preferences that you indicated when sending in your reference photos. The purpose of the mock-up is to better help you visualize what the main background color behind the reference image will look like, so that you can more easily choose which will best complement your space.

Step Four: Full Payment
When you have approved the mock-up, the remaining balance is due. Invoices can be paid online via credit/debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, or with a Good Eye Fine Art gift card.
Step Five: It's pastel painting time!
After payment is received, I will begin your painting.
I use only professional quality soft pastels and archival
paper to create your meaningful and unique artwork.
Step Six: Completion and Mailing
Upon completion, I will email you a photo of the finished portrait. Your artwork will be packaged protectively and mailed off promptly during the month you selected.
Postage

A flat rate of $50 will be added to the final invoice to cover the costs of shipping and insurance via USPS Priority Mail (estimated arrival in 2-3 business days) within the continental USA. For postage outside the continental USA, I will send you a quote which will be added to the final balance.
