I am currently accepting portrait and home portrait commissions for early to mid 2006.

I work both from real life and photos. Copyrighted photographs will not be used for paintings. I use professional quality paints and archival 300# Arches paper.

Prices vary depending on subject, size and complexity but generally range from $150 to $400 for unmatted, unframed artwork.

Send or email photos for pricing. After an agreement is reached I require half payment before work begins. I will email or send a copy of a sketch of the proposed painting for your approval. When the painting is completed I will send or email you a picture. I will make any changes and send the painting as soon as final payment is received. Paintings will be completed in two to four weeks. Rush orders can be accommodated with an extra charge.

You may reach me by phone at 503-362-3327 or email me at katesjh@yahoo.com.
