How does the commission process work?

I take painting commissions throughout the year, and I would be happy to create a painting for you! Paintings make one of a kind gifts for holidays or birthdays. They can also be a way to commemorate a pet or person that has passed. Previous commissions have included portraits, pet portraits, landscapes of a special place, homes, boats and still lifes with special objects.

Most commissioned paintings take me 3-4 weeks to complete. The time of year can affect turn around time, such as around the holidays, when I get many jobs lined up to be completed by Christmas.

I will email you photos throughout the process to make sure you are happy with how the painting is progressing.I paint from photos, which you can e-mail to me at elizabeth@elizabethcleary.com. Photos in natural light without flash work best (taken outside or next to a window). Large, digital files work best, especially if I will be cropping the photo for an up close view.

Please see the full description and specifications below for more information and check out both sizes for examples of previous commissions.
