If you wish to contact me about a commission piece e-mail bill.engels.art@gmail.com . Typically if you had an animal in mind I would do that piece in scratch art. You can refer to some of my work in Scratch Art Library. The sizes would dictate cost. I usually work in the 5X7 or 8X10 size.
For portraits the medium would be acrylics. Size would adjust the costs.
Normally a picture (preferably several) would be required. Don't send originals just attach a digital image to an e-mail. For a portrait I'd do a pencil rendition and e-mail it back. We could use that as a guide to the finished work.
For landscapes e-mail the picture and I'd paint the piece after we agreed to a price.
Pricing is being developed.
