CUSTOM PORTRAITS can be ordered in various sizes and materials. The price will reflect these choices.
A custom portrait calls to mind memories and creates joy for those familiar with the person, place or moment portrayed. It captures the specialness of life.
If you are interested in commissioning a portrait from me you can now do this through my website? Here is how it works:
1 - To order a custom made portrait in oil on canvas, consider what size and background you are interested in and then contact me at barbara@barbaralidfors.com
2 - We arrange a phone conversation to discuss your thoughts and ideas for the portrait. I will want to hear about the significance of the person, place or moment you would like to have painted and I may bring up compositional options that seem relevant. We will also talk about costs and payment options. You may then send me relevant reference photos.
3 - We agree upon a date of completion. I usually need 3-5 weeks for a portrait - and possibly longer for larger works.
4 - After receiving the reference photos, I begin to work. You will first receive a photo of my initial compositional sketch for your approval. After that I will send you photos from the various stages of the painting process so you can follow the development.
5 - When the painting is completed you will be notified and it will be shipped directly to your home!
