It's easy to turn your throw away snapshots into timeless treasures on canvas. Send, or bring me, a photograph. I doesn't have to be a great photograph. Maybe it's out of focus, or you can only see half of the figure, or you see the subjects from behind. It doesn't matter. A lot of unlikely photographs make wonderful oil paintings. What matters is that it recalls a wonderful moment; the day the camera caught your children hunkered down to examine the wonders of a ladybug, or your grandchild's' glee on the arc of a swing. It could be a candid shot of your grandmother on her balcony, or your mother, the first time she held a grandchild. It might even be a group of small boys ambling along the shore on their first field trip. It can be anything. |

Once you have an idea of what you want, I'll do a sketch to give both of us an idea of the size and complexity of the project. You may decide that all you really want is a drawing. But if you decide to go ahead with an oil painting, we'll discuss the final details and arrive at a firm fee, and either way, the preliminary sketch is yours. Commissions begin at $1,000.00 and may go up depending on the complexity of the painting and the number of figures involved. Except in extremely rare cases, the size of the canvas is not a factor in the cost. After we've chosen the subject and the snapshot, a $300.00 deposit secures the sketch. That deposit is applied to the cost of the oil painting. A payment of 50% of the agreed upon price |

is required to confirm the final commission. The balance, including applicable taxes and shipping, is due prior to shipment. If you live in the Bay area, I encourage you to drop in and comment on the progress of your painting. If not, I'm happy to send JPG reports over the internet. Thank you for your interest in TRoney Oils. I look forward to helping you turn one of your throw away snapshots into your family's next heirloom. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Sincerely, |
