Custom Oil Portraits

Let Jan Bower create your heirloom!

       I would love to paint a portrait of you or someone you love.  It's simple and risk free!  Since I prefer to work from photos, there is never any need for repeated and lengthy sittings.   It also makes it possible to surprise a family member, remember a departed loved one, or paint your dream portrait by working from multiple photos...and all without you even having to travel to my studio.  Of course, all my portraits are painted totally freehand; photos are used only for reference.       
       For over 30 years I have worked to establish a superb record of pleasing my clients.  I guarantee your complete satisfaction.  While many
 gifts are quickly forgotten, an original oil portrait is a treasure that will be passed down for generations.  It truly is the ultimate personal heirloom!

Your Heirloom
in 3 Easy Steps:

1
)  Mail me your photo(s) or contact me to set up a photograph session. 
After talking with you about your preferences, I will draw several preliminary sketches, offering you a variety of options to suit your taste, decor, and budget.  After you choose a size and pose, I'll give you an exact quote and estimated date of completion.
2)  When your portrait nears completion, I'll contact you to come view it (if you live nearby), or I'll send you a digital photo of the painting (if you live far away).  At this time, you will give your final approval or request desired adjustments.
3)  Upon completion, your portrait may be picked up, or shipped at your expense and according to your instructions.  Unless other arrangements have been agreed upon, full payment will be expected before the painting leaves the studio.
