COMMISSIONING YOUR PORTRAIT
by S.C. Schoneberg
If you want to commission a Portrait in comparable sizes like the drawings or oil paintings shown herein -- with special backgrounds or colors, from life or photographs -- a portrait of yourself, your friends, business associates, or family memebers -- please phone 541-482-5848 for help or information.

Portraits of your family members are an investment in eternity, a treasure of joy and thanksgiving.

Talk to me about your wishes, your budget; the process is easily attainable. One-half the investiment is in advance -- your commitment to my art and integrity. My commitment to you is a work of art full of beauty, meaning, and value.

If created from life in my studio, a few hours is sufficient for the preliminary sketches, drawings, compositions, color, background that must meet your approval. Photos will be taken. The entire work of art can then be created in your absence. If multiple people are the subjects, all must be present for this first sitting. If the portrait is to be created from a photograph, then the process is the same.

On happy conclusion, the Patron should be present when the finishing touches are made, and the work of art is completed; the balance is then paid. Fax or E-mail your telephone number to me; I will call you personally and we can discuss everything. Thanks for your trust in my art--looking forward to talking and being with you.
