The studio

An original painting of your cat

Not a print. A one-of-a-kind acrylic on canvas, painted by hand by Cody Carlson from a photo you send. It takes two to four weeks because that is how long it takes to paint something properly.

Anything Cody should know (optional) I own this photo (or have the owner's permission), and I'm giving Cody permission to paint from it and to show the finished painting as an example of his work. I keep ownership of the photo, and it won't be printed on products for sale. Choose a size first

Your deposit is refunded in full if you cancel before painting starts. Once it starts it isn't refundable, and you're never charged the balance for a painting you haven't approved — full terms under Original commissions.
