COMMISSIONED
(CUSTOM) PAINTINGS
Art by Dottie Dracos
If you're sending paper photos, please mail them to
Dottie Dracos, 21000 NW Quatama Road, #117,
Beaverton, OR, 97006
(Paper photos submitted will be returned to you at
completion of painting.)

Send virtual photos to me at:

dottie@wildwildthings.com

To commission a custom painting of your pet or if you have questions about
commissioning a painting, please call me (if you have any questions) at 503 407 9106
or email me, dottie@wildwildthings.com.

1.  CONTACT ME FIRST, dottie@wildwildthings.com.
2.  THEN SEND PHOTOS (preferably by email):

  • Size:  You'll need to send me four to seven large, color, clear, in-focus photos of
    your pet.  If they're actual paper photos, they absolutely must be clear and large
    enough for me to see details.  My mailing address is listed below.  If they're
    virtual photos (which is what I prefer), they must be clear, in focus, and at least
    100Kb in size.   (I'm sorry, poor quality photos will not be accepted.)
  • Composition:  Be sure that the photos you send include at least one shot that
    has the pose that you want your pet to be painted in.
  • Setting or Background:  If you have a photo of a setting or background that you
    like, just let me know, and I can generally work it into the painting.  If instead
    there's a specific color background you want, we can work that out, too.
  • Let me know your pet's name, her/his breed, personality, age, and anything else
    about her/him that you think I should know as I paint.


2.  MAKE DEPOSIT: a 1/3 deposit is required before painting is started.

3.  OPTIONAL ADDITIONS: Each additional pet per painting requires a 1/3 additional
charge.  

4.  TURNAROUND TIME:  Paintings are done in the order deposits are received.  
Contact me for approximate turnaround time.

IMPORTANT "LEGALESE" NOTICE

Once you have commissioned and I
have completed a commissioned
painting, or any other painting on my
own, all rights to the painting are
mine alone, including the right to
reproduce and sell reproductions of
any painting I have ever made or
ever will make.  You will own the
original painting, of course, but
again, all legal rights to the image
itself are the exclusive property of
me, Dottie Dracos, the artist.
