Description #1 by Etsy - Omniportraits:

A beautiful custom portrait with one figure (person, pet, landscape, etc.) hand painted from your photo(s) on canvas with top quality oil paints in a 16x20 format. (Image above is for illustration purposes - your order will be custom painted from your photos) Process: Having a custom portrait commissioned is a fun experience. You can commemorate special occasions or be creative by combining multiple images into an original composition. The process starts when you send me your photo(s) and an idea of what you would like painted. I will work with you and make suggestions to improve the painting such as cropping, removing background items, etc. Once we have the composition defined, I'll set up a custom Etsy listing for you to make it easier to check out. Once you're checked out, then we'll start painting! The painting process takes about two weeks. When it's done, I'll send you a proof (high resolution digital image via email) for your approval or requested changes. You may request as many changes as you like until you're totally happy with the painting. When the painting is approved we'll need another week or two for drying and shipping. I ship via Priority Mail and you will receive a tracking number when the painting goes out. Rush Projects: The average project including composition, painting, revisions, drying and shipping takes 4-6 weeks. In rush circumstances, I can get the painting to you in as little as two and a half weeks. There is a rush fee of $25 (as a separate Etsy item, or it can be build into your custom listing) plus overnight shipping charges (usually an additional $20.00) Pricing: The price listed is for 16x20" portrait with one "figure" (eg a horse or a person). Please see the chart below for pricing for more figures, (left hand column) or larger size format canvas (top row). The price for my items listed are for a specific size of painting with a specific number of figures. (eg a horse or a person). If you have an especially complex background or combining more than two images(like the painting with the Colosseum in Rome in the background), that may count as an additional figure. I can also produce any custom size you like, even if it is not listed. To order any size other than the size/figures in an item listing in my shop, please send me a "conversation" and I can create a custom item listing for you.
