One of the commissions I did was based on photos someone e-mailed to me of their cats. I thought it would be a good idea so I agreed to paint something for her. Click on the image below to see the final painting.  

The usual series of events that are involved with commissioned works over the internet are the following; 

1)     You e-mail me with your ideas for a painting and we discuss the details and agree on a price, 
         size and perhaps general color scheme for the painting. 

2)     If I feel comfortable with painting what you suggest then I'll make several pencil sketches  
         and  e-mail photos of these to you. You can inform me which sketch you like and I'll base 
         the shapes of the final painting on that sketch.  

3)      I'll start the painting and when it's finished (probably within several weeks from the date 
         on which the sketch was finalized),  I'll e-mail photos to you. If you don't like the  
         finished painting, you don't have to buy it. I can just sell it somewhere else as if it were 
         a 'normal' painting. At this point, if you still wanted a painting from me , I could try again. 
         I won't, though,  change a painting once it's finished.  

4)     If you wanted the finished painting then at this point you would send me a money order for 
         the amount we agreed to in our initial discussions. You could check my auction feedback on  
         Yahoo auctions or Ebay if you wish to have some sense of security about sending your  
         payment.  

5)      Once I recieved your money order, I would pack the painting (very securely) and send it to 
          you promptly . The parcel would probably arrive within several weeks.   
          
           
            

So if you have any ideas which you'd like to have incorperated into a painting, please contact me. I may decide that I like your idea and paint a commissioned work just for you!
