How to Commission an Abbott.


Step One: First decide three things. 

A. Where? Where do I plan to hang my new Abbott(s)? We do have Team Members that order two or three pieces. Will you be moving some art and putting your new commission in its place? Is this for a certain spot? 

B. What? What size works best for you? Do you need a portrait or landscape orientation? Portrait is vertical where the art is taller than it is wide. Landscape is horizontal where the image is wider than tall. We have found that cutting a piece of paper or folding a sheet and pinning it to your wall will allow you to decide what the ideal size is for your space. Will a standard size work or do you require a custom made canvas? 

Our standard sizes we keep in stock are:
12” x 24”
12” x 36”
16” x 20”
20” x 24”
24” x 30”
24” x 36”
30” x 40”
36” x 48”
48” x 60”

Other sizes must be custom made by our canvas supplier. Expect a 6 weeks delay and a surcharge on custom sizes. Our canvas supplier charges us extra on the boxing, plus it is more expensive to ship one piece than several. 

C. How? How much money do you plan to invest? We will do our best to work within your budget. Of course size does dictate the cost; however, first decide the perfect piece and then let us see just how inventive we can become in helping you commission your ideal painting or paintings.

 

Step two: Now we need for you to select what you love. I call my commissions “collaborations” because I take your ideas and merge them with mine to design your perfect painting. 

A. Look at the Originals section on my website or in the guest book and study the formats of the images I have displayed.    

            B. You tell me, “Jason, we love the orientation (format) in Paradise Found”    

                                                                                                                                                                                                     

   And “We love the potted flowers in Private Paradise    and the clouds in Wish You Were Here”                                                                                                                  

C.  After you have selected the size, how much you want to invest and know what you like and don’t like, then you and I will get together to come up with your perfect piece. 

What works best is for you to phone me or set a time for me to phone you, or talk to me about it when I am
 painting in the mall. 

You get on your computer and I will ours. Over the phone or in person we can banter back and forth with ideas until I’m confident I know exactly what works best for you. 100% satisfaction is promised. Knock on wood; I have never had anyone I’ve worked with unhappy with his or her collaboration. 

Currently about 25% to 29% of all the paintings I do are collaborations.   I’m ready to get started on your special painting, all you need to do is decide what works best for you and contact me. Painting Party Members are moved to the front of the line.
