| Place an Order in 3 Easy Steps. |
| STEP 1: Send Me A Portrait Request |
| Send me a Portrait Request, using my online Portrait Request Form and Free Price Calculator. The link to this free online form is at the bottom of this page, after Step 2 & 3. At this point, there is no payment necessary and no obligations. You may also email me to describe your portrait or to ask questions. Please try to give me as much information as possible about your portrait idea, such as size, design, and number of figures. My email is GuysArt@earthlink.net Your Portrait Request gives me the opportunity to e-mail you an exact price quote, and to make sure there are no misunderstandings before you go through the trouble of finalizing your order. Please review all the Prices, Sizes, and Portrait Designs, I offer, before making your Portrait Request. Also, please be sure to read the section I provided on Photo Tips, before uploading or e-mailing me your photo(s). These tips include how to choose good photos and how to protect and package your photos for safe delivery if you send them by regular mail. When you make your Portrait Request, I may be currently working on a portrait for a client and may have other orders lined up. If this is the case, I will let you know and will tell you when I can begin your portrait before you finalize your order. When I have multiple portrait orders, I always work on the portraits in the order Portrait Requests are finalized, not in the order initial Portrait Requests are made. |
| STEP 2: Finalize Your Portrait Request |
| After I have reviewed your Portrait Request and after I have received your photo(s), I will send you an e-mail with an exact Price Quote. If you agree with the quoted price and wish to continue, you may then finalize your Portrait Request by allowing me to add you to my painting schedule. Just send me an email reply to let me know. Again, no payment is necessary at this point. You will be happy to know I do not ask for a single penny up front. You will be asked to make payment only after you have evaluated and have approved a Digital Proof of your portrait. Starting Your Portrait! Once I receive everything I need from you, I will then begin to execute your very own one-of-a-kind, hand-painted portrait, which you have specified to me. If I have any additional questions, I will e-mail them to you or call if necessary. Upon completing your portrait, I will e-mail you a Digital Proof to get your approval. If changes or alterations are needed I will continue working on it to make those adjustments. I do not charge extra for the first two adjustment sessions. However, if I'm asked to make adjustments a third time, I may charge anywhere between $25.00 to $50.00, depending on the complexity and degree of alterations. If the adjustments are extremely minor, I may make the adjustments for a third time free of charge. If you are still not satisfied, you will not have to make any payment! Time Required to Complete Your Portrait Oil Portraits usually take me 1-2 weeks to complete, depending on the level of complexity. At times, a few extra days are needed to allow your portrait to dry. |

| STEP 3: Make Your Payment |
| When you have approved the portrait I have created for you, I will e-mail you a payment link. It will direct you to my PayPal page, where you can fill out your shipping address and Credit Card information. If you have any trouble filling out the PayPal order form, let me know. I will be happy to help. I accept Credit Card payments through PayPal (No account necessary to use,) and I will accept Personal Checks and Money Orders. I ship using USPS Priority, which requires 2-3 days to arrive. Your portrait will be fully insured in case it becomes lost or damaged during transit. Fortunately, this has never happened, so far. If by chance your portrait appears damaged, upon opening it from its box, please notify me as soon as possible and I will address the problem. |
