Does the work require a down payment?
Yes, All work requires a 35% non-refundable deposit to cover cost of materials and Artist

 labor. The remaining balance and shipping will only be paid once you have approved the

final piece. Once approved, all fees must be paid in full prior to shipping.

What type of photo should I send?

   The higher the resolution the better. Email me a jpeg of your photo and I will print it out

 to the size I need to paint it.

Do I get to preview my painting/drawing before paying for the remaining balance?

 
Yes. Once your painting is ready, I will email you a watermarked digital copy for you to

review it . There are usually no problems,  But if you feel that any

modifications should be made, let me know and I'll make the requested modifications

Can you listen to
my favorite song and paint a picture about it?

Absolutely! As long as you don't have any preconceived notions as to

 what it should look like. When you listen to the song, you may think

 of a day at the park or your favorite type of cookie. I may listen to it

and see various pebbles on the beach or a tree swaying in the breeze.

 So, if you truly want my interpretation of your favorite song, I would

 be happy to do that
.



Do you actually *see* these things when you hear the songs? 100%

yes! I won't even be thinking about it and all of a sudden an image

pops into my head.

Why don't you charge musicians to be featured on your site? That

answer is simple, because I love them. They inspire my art, they

deserve to be recognized for free. Even if they haven't inspired

anything yet I'll still put them on my Facebook fan page. I never know when

 I'll be inspired or what song will do it.

If I give you a photo of my garden, will you paint it? Even though it

 has nothing to do with music?
Yes! If there is something you would

like to be custom done, I would love to do that for you!

Is it true that if a musician takes an interest in your website that you

are more inclined to feature and promote them on your fan page?
YOU CAN SAY

 THAT AGAIN! While I believe that all musicians should have a turn

in the spotlight , if you don't show appreciation for the attention and

free publicity I offer than that doesn't really make me want to do nice

 things for you now does it? Bottom line is folks, I appreciate music, I

 appreciate musicians, I appreciate being appreciated for what I am

doing.

What is the difference between "Inspired by" and "Influenced by"?

Inspired by means I saw the image while listening to the

song. Influenced by means I already had the idea, but the

 music set the tone for the painting. ( example- bright sunny

 day vs. dark, gloomy day )
