Portrait fees are based on the following criteria: the number of people or pets in the painting; how much of each subject is to be depicted; the size of the actual painting itself; the intricacy of clothing, jewelry and props; and the complexity of the background setting.  These things help determine an estimated time frame at a rate of $25 per hour.

Travel expenses, framing costs, shipping fees and any state or city sales tax, where applicable, are additional.
