Thank you for visiting my website. More than ever, small business owners such as myself really appreciate your support.

50% Deposit for Diptych, 2 (Two) Custom 24" X 36" - Original Acrylic Mixed Media on Canvas

$5,000.00


I am a storyteller. When I approach a project, I contemplate the story, memories, emotions and sentiments that I want to convey. I want my work to be meaningful, and to start awareness -- whether the artwork is about honoring someone's loved one, a family's togetherness, special events, or a humanitarian cause... Art has the power to steer people toward the truth or to an individual's redemptive identity.Β 

I accept commissioned (custom) art projects so if you would like something custom made for your space or your client's, please initiate your interest byΒ selecting the 50% deposit option for this item.Β This project is not accepted by meΒ until we have a fully signed contract.

PLEASE READ:Β PLACING A "50% Deposit for a Diptych --Β  2 (Two) Custom 24" X 36" Original Acrylic Mixed Media on Canvas Panels" here is considered a "Pre-Order" for a commission -- for new original Acrylic Mixed Media painting in the same size -- with a total cost(before shipping/packaging charges) of $10,000.00.

Once you pay a 50% deposit for a custom Diptych - 2 (two) 24" x 36" Acrylic Mixed Media artworks, here are the next steps that you can expect:Β 

    • I will review your pre-order and will contact you, within 2 business days, to arrange for a 10-minute phone call appointment, so we may discuss your project.Β If the project is not a good fit, or if I'm currently not available to take your commission project as per your desired timeline, I will process your refund immediately -- before or within 5Β business days of placing your pre-order -- to inform you that the order hasΒ been cancelled.
    • If the commission project seems like it's a great fit, I will confirm that I will send you a contract to review, sign and return to me.Β 

    • TheΒ most important things in our custom or commission artwork contract are as follows:
            1. The 50% deposit is required and non-refundable after we both have signed the contract. The remaining 50%, plus cost of packaging/shipping (if any) are due uponΒ completion. You will receive an invoice via email for the remaining balance.

            2. After we have signed the contract, the commission process is collaborative (ie., we will have approx 2-3 meetings online to discuss your custom artwork project, we will use a shared document to track all related information, as well as the design concept ).Β However, I need the creative freedom to follow my intuition to produce a well-composed mixed-media artwork for you or your client.

            3. A commissioned/personalized artwork can take approximately 1 week to 6 months to complete -- depending on our schedules,Β what you would like done, and if you have provided all of the original materials -- that you would like me to incorporateΒ (such as personal mementos). We will note in the contract the estimated (and mutually agreed upon) target date of completion We will revise the contract regarding any date extensions -- as needed. All revisions to the originalΒ contract must be signed by all parties.

            4. Fine Art Paper Prints, Canvas Prints, Stationery such as Greeting Cards, Invitation Cards, and Postcards, Notebooks, Apparel, Home Goods,Β  and Accessories -- printed with your custom artwork will require additional fees. Please inquire for cost estimates and volume discounts.

            5. Projects that requires me to travel outside of the South Bay Area California will require an additional fee.

            6. Please note that unless I expressly sign over copyright to the buyer who's commissioned the painting or it was done as work for hire, copyright remains with the Artist (me/Jocelyn Cruz). Owning the actual original painting is not the same as owning copyright and reproduction rights in the painting.

            7. A "Licensing Commission" will require a different contract and policy on a case by case basis.

          Β 

        I look forward to collaborating with you! I am blessed to create the custom artwork for your space or your client's. Thank you so much!


        With gratitude,

        Jocelyn

        MONAGHAN FAMILY DIPTYCH COMMISSIONED MIXED MEDIA PAINTING, STEP 2: COLLECTING ORIGINAL FAMILY ARTIFACTS 🎨☺️ The paintings will tell the Monaghan's family's history from their Beijing and Missouri roots, precious moments from their wedding in San Francisco, trips across the U.S. and stories about their strong LOVE/bond for each other... I love that they have given me one of their remaining wedding invitations, tickets to events and places where they have taken their only son Jason for the first time, Chinese stamps and letters from their wedding, and about hearing the back story of Ryan's personal email address (Hint: when their son Jason was little he wasn't able to say tomato... Instead he pronounced it as "tatamo" so his dad Ryan's created his email as RM@TATAMO... :) I will integrate all of these into the two custom mixed media paintings!! #ArtCommission #Personal #Artwork #Family #History #Precious #Moments #Custom #Painting #JOURNEYOFLIFEPAINTER #ARTIST #PAINTER #THEALCHEMIST #livelifetothefullest #carpediem #makingdeepconnections #LIGHTHOUSEARTDESIGN #clientsforlife #losgatos #bayareaart #sanfrancisco #artgallery #artstudio #artcollector #artbuyers #supportartists #WHYICREATE

        MONAGHAN FAMILY DIPTYCH COMMISSIONED MIXED MEDIA PAINTING, STEP 3: SELECTING CLIENTS' PHOTOS FOR INTEGRATION into the PAINTING -- ASK YOURSELF, "Does it ADD A HIGH EMOTIONAL AND AESTHETIC QUALITY TO THE STORY?" Choose according to dimension, quality, composition, people's emotions/connections, background, colors, and relevance to THEME... BUSINESS TIPS for Mixed Media / Collage Artists: Create sub folders to prioritize P1, P2, Nice to Have, Cannot use (Eyes are closed, blurry, blah?) Note: It's important to discuss these with your clients TO GET CONSENSUS on priorities, to SET EXPECTATIONS! but make sure you RETAIN your ARTISTIC FREEDOM. Depending on the deadline, request for better photos if the ones they shared with you will not add positive value to the overall composition!! (The prep time process is enormous... This is why you want to add these steps to your price estimate for commission work...) ☺️ The paintings will tell the Monaghan's family's history from their Beijing and Missouri roots, precious moments from their wedding in San Francisco, trips across the U.S. and stories about their strong LOVE/bond for each other... #ArtCommission #Personal #Artwork #Family #History #Precious #Moments #Custom #Painting #JOURNEYOFLIFEPAINTER #ARTIST #PAINTER #THEALCHEMIST #livelifetothefullest #carpediem #makingdeepconnections #LIGHTHOUSEARTDESIGN #clientsforlife #losgatos #bayareaart #sanfrancisco #artgallery #artstudio #artcollector #artbuyers #supportartists #WHYICREATE #Commissioned #Business #Tips
