waiting list and if the portrait is needed for a specific date.

 | I will contact you one week before due completion
date , to discuss receipt of painting. It is normally the responsibility
of the customer to collect the painting. Delivery, across Melbourne,
inter-state and internationally can be arranged by me, with costs to be
paid by the customer. Where possible
I prefer to deliver in person. |
 | I will send you a photo of the work before it is
framed, (customer satisfaction is paramount) I need to ensure you are 100%
happy, and then we will discuss the type of frame you want. Some
clients travel to Ballarat and visit the framer with me. |

Pricing
Below is an estimate of pricing for
portraits only, please contact me for quotes or other types of art works.
Framing is an additional cost, and I am happy to pieces framed by my
framer Artec" but can also send works un framed if required. People are
often surprised by framing costs which are usually between $100 - $150.
Pastel art work must be framed under glass.
