Commissions
Personal Portraits in Soft Pastel
Send a photograph of someone you love — a person, a pet, a truck that has been in the family for forty years — and DawnE will paint it by hand in soft pastel. One of a kind, signed, and yours to keep.
How it works
Four steps, and most commissions are finished within four to eight weeks.
Choose & pay
Pick the subject and size below. Payment holds your place in her queue.
Send your photo
The moment you pay you are taken straight to an upload page. It takes a few seconds.
She paints it
Worked entirely by hand in soft pastel. She will send you a photo of the finished piece before it ships.
It arrives
Signed, packed flat in a rigid protective mailer, and shipped free anywhere in the United States.

Before you order
Have your photograph to hand before you order — you will be asked for it straight after payment. Natural daylight beats a flash, and closer is better than further away. If the only photo you have is old, faded or a little blurry, send it anyway; she has worked from far worse and will tell you honestly what she can do with it. Questions first? Email Krackofdawnart@yahoo.com.
ShippingEvery commission ships free within the United States, flat in a rigid protective mailer. We are not able to ship internationally at this time. Commissions are made to order, so they are not returnable — but DawnE will share a photograph of the finished painting before it goes in the post.
