Price, Size & Media Charts

Copper Penny of Shady Ridge

1982-2005

If you're going to hang artwork in your home, make it something you truly love.

-Alicia McNally

The real value that a piece of artwork holds is not it's resale value, it is in what it means to someone special.  Sometimes that can have no price tag because it's more than money can buy.  That's the truth.  And if you're still reading this than it's time for me to be down to earth with you.  A piece of work I create is only going to matter to you if you help it mean something personal. Tell me the stories, they are important. Tell me the little things, the ironic things.  Help me to heal the hurt. We can't bring them back to life. But we don't have to focus on the fact that they are gone. Let's bring them back, if only in spirit. I know you can, No one is really gone if you remember them, in your heart. What I can do is help you show what you want everyone to know: "this is my best friend and I will never forget that they were here. "

Key Benefits                                                                                               

• YOU have final say over design layout, media, size, and subjects.
• YOU determine how complex or simple the overall feel is.
• It's your stories and input that help bring the art to life.
• YOU determine how much your piece costs according to your budget.

Options

• Media : graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, pastel, pen and ink, watercolor, acrylic. For more information please continue to page linked below where we provide a list of the tools and materials used in creating art. Specifications on expected durability, color fastnesses and samples of work done in those media.

• Sizes: 8x10, 11x14,16x20, or custom sizes (there are a LARGE  size variety with canvas' including oval canvas' and square)

• Pick a full background or none at all.
• You can choose a head study, full body pose, or a combination of the two, as displayed above.
• You can mix and match media, unless it's really unnecessary or unreasonable. Examples would be Zahra's Memorial where I used graphite for most of the cat, colored pencil for her eyes, and the roses, enamels and pen &ink to inscribe her birth and death date.  
• If you'd like I can have it Framed and Matted at an additional cost, however how much is spent is again determined by YOU. Nothing is purchased for your piece until YOU approve it first. I can most certainly run out with your piece and give you our recommendation for display, but in the end it's really up to you.

Pricing

Pricing out a piece is determined upon many factors. Size, media and complexity.

Below are listed prices based on

 1 subject with no background (or solid background)

 in their specific media.

**This does not include specialty canvas which includes round, oval,  3D, and float canvas.

You can obviously add subjects onto this. But this affects the price because the layout becomes more complex.  Below are listed prices for: 

Additional subjects to a piece of work.

It may not look difficult but I used 12 different pictures just to get these four cats together in one shot. To further complicate things, the background is based on my client's desired description of where she'd like to see her cats ("outside -like in the yard").   She had also mentioned that she liked to think that when they passed on they were up in Heaven. I asked her to close her eyes and give me a description of her perfect heavenly sky.  So in fact, without knowing it, she also picked the color pallet for the sky. In designing this background we looked at the fact that the owner would potentially be getting more cats in the future, and that we could later add in more cats as needed without taking away from the overall feel of the painting. This fantastic landscape came from 11 sky and cloud pictures and 7 lawn and landscaping pictures. So as you see You as the Client have a lot of input as to how the piece gets completed.
