Portrait Commission | Original Paintings | Key and Sea Creative

commissions

Whether you’re interested in preserving a memory from your travels, commemorating a milestone in your life, or just have a specific idea for a painting, you’ve come to the right place.

I offer a range of specialized commissioned paintings, including (but not limited to) seascapes, landscapes, travel-inspired, and food art.

If you’re interested in a custom painting or have any questions about the process, please fill out the commission form at the bottom of this page!

what's included

The finished painting, signed on the front.

Ready-to-hang with either wire or a sawtooth hanger.

Painted edges of the canvas–if there’s a color you have in mind, I can make it happen!

A layer of varnish on the front and around the edges to seal the painting, as well as protect against discoloration, moisture, dirt, dust, and UV damage.

Also available upon request: a “first look” of the painting when it’s at a final stage–this provides an opportunity to make any tweaks before the varnish goes on.

good to know

My areas of interest include seascapes, landscapes, food/desserts, pets, and portraits.

I will only take commissions that I feel are a good fit for my style and expertise. For example, if you’re looking for a black & white, photo-realist painting, I’m not your girl!

I primarily paint in acrylics, but I also enjoy using gouache and watercolors. Medium recommendations are available based on the reference photo(s).

Normally, I paint on canvas, but I can also paint on a variety of high gsm paper, canvas board, cradled wood panels, wood slices, etc. If you have a cool idea, I’d love to hear all about it.

 

commission pricing structure

The following pricing structure serves as an estimated cost of commissioned paintings based on size. Please note that the price fluctuates depending on the reference photo(s) provided. Generally, a good rule of thumb is the more detail in the image reference, the more expensive the painting. I’m more than happy to provide specific quotes if you have budgetary concerns–don’t be afraid to ask!

A 50% non-refundable deposit will be taken at the time of the commission request. This amount goes toward the cost of the painting.
