This page will be regularly updated to provide a public look at my current painting "to-do" lists. This is for paintings only and does not account for other items, even if they're also custom.

They will be identified with the order number as the "codename" if the painting is a gift, which you will be provided upon ordering.

 If you have any questions regarding your commission, or need to expedite it, please reach out to me directly via email (hello@lemonkitties.com) or text (803-240-6223). Thank you! -Kellie

If you'd like to discuss prior to purchase, or discuss a payment plan, please contact me (803-240-6223 OR hello@lemonkitties.com)

• I will contact you after purchase to discuss details of the commission.
• Please prepare any and all photos you have of the pet you'd like painted, see photo guide for helpful tips on ideal pictures!

Payment Options:

*For all options other than payment up front, please contact me directly and I will send you an invoice!*

1. Full payment up front 
2. 50% Deposit OR $25, whichever is more, is due at time of order and rest due when painting is complete.

If you have a budget in mind or any ideas not offered in my current lineup, please contact me!

Refunds & Cancellations & Other:

1. If commission is canceled by you after I have started painting, deposit is nonrefundable. If I have not started the painting, the deposit is refundable. If the commission is canceled by me, the deposit is refundable. 
2. For any reason, I reserve the right to cancel any commission I do not feel comfortable with.
   
3. There are generally no friend/family discounts for paintings. My prices are far below other painters in the Cola area making the same quality work. 

Terms and Information:

1. My style is a little painterly and not perfectly photo realistic - I paint this way on purpose. If you want a perfect photo, I cannot paint one.
   
2. Simple portraits and 'Nosy' portraits are budget friendly options and are not full body or bust paintings. This is how they can be more budget friendly and with quicker turnaround.
3. The panels are ‘cradled’, which means there is a lip to easily hang the portrait on walls. They’re also obviously firm so can stand on their own, although do much better leaning against something.
4. I hope I don’t have to share that paintings are handmade and delicate. Gouache (the paint) and water don’t go well. The painting will be sealed, but nobody is perfect, so please don’t swim with your painting or attempt to clean it with any liquids.

Process:

1. I will contact you to confirm the painting, discuss details, and collect the 50% deposit (if not fully paid at time of purchase)
2.  We will discuss general layout with a very rough mockup (usually the photo cropped to fit the painting size with background color sketched in). If you do not like the layout, and I have not put paint on the board yet, the deposit is refundable at this point.
3. When approved, I will sketch the image on the board and begin to paint. At this point the deposit is nonrefundable.
4. When done, I will send a photo of the painting to you. If you would like any minor changes, this is the time to let me know! Major changes or complete re-draws may be subject to a fee.
5. I seal the painting, sign the painting, and then it goes home with you! (Preparing to ship may take an additional 1-2 business days).
