A price, a size, a medium, and a realistic date. Within [how many days? — Ray] of your request.
[What % up front? — Ray] to get on the calendar. You see progress shots as it goes.
Final photos, balance due, then it goes out framed and insured.
[What % — Ray] deposit books your slot and is non-refundable once I start. Balance is due before it ships.
Typically [how long? — Ray] from deposit, depending on the queue and the size. Oil needs drying time and I won’t rush it.

You own the physical piece. I keep the copyright and the right to show it in my portfolio unless we agree otherwise in writing. Commercial use is a separate conversation.
Packed and insured, billed at cost. International is fine; duties are yours.
