• ABOUT COMMISSIONING PORTRAITS

    A fine art portrait of your best friend (or of the two of you together) is a wonderful way to honor the years of unconditional love and devotion you’ve shared, and makes a very special gift that will be treasured for years to come.

    Working from a single photo or any combination of photos, Susan Falcon-Hargraves can create a custom work of art just for you, capturing the very special essence that makes your beloved friend one of a kind.

    Portraits are priced by size, the number of figures and whether or not humans are included in the final work.
    Fees begin at 550.00 (16x20)for a single pet.
    For multiple pets, larger canvases and paintings created from more than a single photo please contact the artist for a free consultation.

    (plus shipping - shipping cost depends on actual size and where you are).

    Feel free to contact me with your ideas and budget for more pricing information regarding larger works, paintings with several figures, etc.

    TERMS
    I accept all major credit cards via Square or Paypal.
    Half of the agreed upon fee is required to begin work on any larger commission, the other half on completion, plus shipping expenses if there are any. Clients who live outside of the greater Phoenix area will be provided with an emailed image for approval before the completed work is shipped. If you have a deadline because this is going to be a gift, please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs.
