Question 1

How long do custom orders take?

Accepted Answer

A custom order can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the complexity and size of the painting. Orders are fulfilled on a first come - first serve basis, unless there are extenuating circumstances. A deadline for completion is always agreed upon by both client and artist prior to starting a painting. Please allow at least 1 month notice for custom orders to ensure your deadline can be met.

Ornaments: 1-2 weeks
Houses: 1-2 weeks
Pet portraits: 2-3 weeks
Portraits: 2-3 weeks
Landscapes: 2-3 weeks
Stadiums: 4-6 weeks

Question 2

What mediums do you use?

Accepted Answer

Most of my artwork is with acrylic paint on either canvas or tagboard. This gives the option to mat and frame the piece after completion or not. I am always willing to experiment with textured art. This may include modeling pastes, metallic flakes, and plaster. I am less familiar with watercolor and oil paints. For pieces in these mediums, I typically defer custom orders of this nature to stay true to my style as an artist.

I limit my custom orders to paintings only. I do not accept requests for drawings in either pencil or charcoal.

Question 3

I am local, how can I save on shipping cost?

Accepted Answer

At checkout, local pickup option is available for selection instead of flat rate shipping. Customers located near Des Moines, Iowa will be eligible for this option.
