1. Is it possible to have a portrait done of a favorite minor league baseball player or other sports figure if selective pictures or photographs/cards of the player could be provided? 

Answer: Absolutely. If you provide us with a quality photograph of the athlete that you want a portrait of, we will complete an original portrait of the athlete for you. Please note that the quality of your photograph will have an impact on the end product. Size and difficulty of the painting will affect the price that we quote you for the painting.

2. What happens if I commission a portrait and after seeing the portrait, I do not like the image or likeness of the athlete that I selected? 

Answer: If the athlete is a fairly well known figure (one that we would normally paint) we will take back that portrait and complete a new one. If the portrait is of a relatively unknown athlete (minor league player, college player etc.) we will not be able to place that portrait in our inventory. If the likeness is really off (in our estimation) we will complete a new portrait at no cost to you. However, in any event, if you are not 100% satisfied, we will refund your money - no questions asked.
