Unless I am backed up with orders, I can have  your portrait in a month. That is my standard time but I can discuss any time frame issues with

you (i.e. rush, a birthday gift, holiday). I generally take about  3 days to paint a portrait- I walk away from it for @ 3 days and then revisit to add any details and gain a new perspective on the work in progress.  Your finished piece is shipped priority mail USPS  with a tracking number.  Shipping is free in the United States.  Nominal surcharge on other areas of the world.
