How It Works

1.  SUBMIT an inquiry and a photo using the “Contact” tab.  

2.  COMPLETE the Request Form and sign the release granting me permission to paint your photo (this form can be downloaded on the “Contact” tab).  

             On the Request Form you will be able to:   

3.  CHOOSE a painting size. There are two standard options. Other sizes are available upon request. 

             11" X 14" = $300 

             12" X 16" = $400 

       All paintings are oil on canvas. The edges are painted so it will look finished if left unframed. 

4.  SELECT an organization to receive the donation. For each painting, I will donate 25% of the cost to a group from the list shown on the “Giving Back” tab.   

5.  SEE THE COMPLETED PAINTING and decide whether you would like to buy it. You are not obligated to purchase it at any point.  (Why would I do this, you might wonder?  - I love to paint. I love to create. But I prefer to remove the pressure from both of us that is usually present within a typical “commission” relationship.)   

6.  PAYMENT is accepted via Venmo (@Christine-DaSilva) or Zelle and the painting will be shipped to you. I will send you a receipt as proof of the donation.
