| #1 Picking a painting that you like the most. The hardest part is finding a paintings that you like the most. Take your time with this and be sure to consider what size would work best in your home. Once you have made a title choice that you love just send me an e-mail and I will let you know, usually within a day, what exact sizes and price the image could be painted in. No cost just yet. #2 Approving your Stain After we have decided on a price and title I will start on a color stain of your painting. A color stain is a flat version of your painting to show the basic colors and image. Quite often your stain will have changes here and there making each piece truely an original. Once I am finished with this stain, usually about a week, I forward you a jpeg via e-mail to get your approval. Then you look it over carefully and let me know what you think. After your approval I ask for a 50% deposit payable via online Credit Card I send you an e-mail and you pay online, or a Check. Here is an example of a Color Stain: |

| Paintings come with a dark painted gallery edge. Each Oil Painting is ready to hang and enjoy. |
| #3 Then I starting on the oil painting. This is really the greatest part, where the painting feels like it comes alive. I add rich layers of creamy oil paint and flick the colors back and forth creating an impressionistic feel and beauty. By starting with a beautiful color stained image I can focus on the brush strokes to create a wonderful blend of color and light. This job usually takes several weeks. Once I am satisfied I'll send you another e-mail so that you can see the finished painting and for your final approval and payment. Each piece will have a drying time, usually 7-10 days, before shipping. #4 Shipping your art. Paintings are shipped, UPS second day and an e-mail is sent to you to give you the arrival date. Overnight delivery is available upon request. UPS will not ship to a PO Box. #5 Hang and Enjoy, you deserve nothing but the best in your home. Thank you all very much for your support.

| Because of my painting technique there is no way I could ever produce the same painting twice. This style, French Impressionism, is unique in that you never get the same results twice and yes challenging because every brush stroke matters. The results however are stunning, and while I cannot guarantee the exact same painting I can guarantee a beautiful fine art original oil painting or your money back. |
