Start with a photo. It should be in focus, proper colors, and large enough to show details clearly.  A variety of photos of the subject works well when one doesn't meet all requirements.  I am happy to take photos for anyone in the northern Colorado and southern Wyoming area.

I will propose a layout, background, etc.  using edited examples for your review on line. I will also provide a price estimate and time to delivery.

You will have an opportunity to review the painting  and make changes before final delivery which will include a plain artist's frame that you can change as desired.
