Musicians / Color Portraits

Guidelines for custom color portraits & paintings:

I like to work on larger size canvas for my acrylic paintings.  Minimum size 20 x 30 (approximately) depending on the subject; I prefer size 30 x 40.  My specialty is in the close-up details of the face. I love focusing on the eyes and conveying a feeling to the viewer.  I also like to work on high contrast paintings, with sharp lines, bold colors and deep shadows - which is why I like to paint musicians.  The style of painting I enjoy includes bright colors and layering with different drips, rolling and textures.  Here is what I need in order to accept and move forward with a commissioned request:

• Creating a piece of art is a deeply personal process, one that I pour my heart and soul into. I look for a genuine connection and inspiration from your request, as it is the spark that ignites my creative process. 

• I work from photographs and will need options that show details and have good lighting.

• 50% down is required to get scheduled on my calendar.  I will keep you updated on the progress and share photos.  Once complete and we are both happy with the results, final payment plus shipping is due.  

• Shipping is additional and will be quoted based on size, weight and destination.  Artwork is shipped with professional packaging, insurance and signature delivery.

• The timeframe for custom work varies depending on other projects that I currently have lined up.  For current timelines, please email or message me.

• Prices start at $1,200 for a 30 x 40 canvas

• Email MELA melindalowryanter@gmail.com or message me with your photograph(s) to get your request started.
