ABOUT the ART
Original Paintings and Art
I do not list the originals with prices simply because the industry does not normally do so but it seems that normality is becoming exceedingly abstract these days. Availability is listed and I do list prices of originals here when they are displayed in a space that I am curating, like NeWorld Gallery or Austin Art Park.
If you are interested in talking with me about any specific original or wish to inquire about the price, contact me thank you. Once a price is agreed upon I will list it so the transaction can be handled with a wide range of options. Otherwise if you would prefer to purchase an original in a different way, just let me know.
Oil and Acrylic paintings primarily on canvas but some are on glass, masonite, musical instrument cases... all originals come with a 8.5x11 Art Sample Print included with the certificate of authenticity and provenance.
Artist's Proof?
Artist's Proofs are made during the process of fine-tuning the final tone, contrast and color on the artwork. Once the final adjustments are made, 12 ARTIST PROOFS are made on 13x19 inch professional luster premium photo paper, 72lb., 270 gsm. Artist Proofs are limited edition, hand signed, numbered and custom embossed.
ARTIST PROOFS *AP S|N|E •LE Run/12 • Artist Proof | SIGNED | NUMBERED | EMBOSSED *Limited Edition Run of 12 prints, includes Certificate of Authenticity / Provenance. The number of the archival fine art print will be the lowest still available at the time of purchase. These are printed in original ratio on a full sheet of 19x13 archival fine art paper. The actual art image size may vary based on its original size and shape.

Collector Commission Inquiry
How does the refundable deposit for a commission painting work?
For any artwork other than portraits, a 50% deposit is needed to be added to the waitlist, however the full deposit is refundable at any time. The commission can be canceled prior to, during, or after the painting is finished either by Doug or the client. Art is very personal and subjective for both the client(s) and the artist, so in the event that a commissioned artwork is not claimed it will be released to the open market and/or the galleries.
For a commission, typically clients will suggest a subject and palette preferences. Doug does not accept all subjects or color palettes but is happy to hear what you have in mind. For example, a client might say they want a 72 in. × 90 in. horizontal artwork depicting something reminiscent of their favorite three paintings from his catalog. Since the deposit is 100% refundable on non-portrait art, Doug has the freedom to run with the suggestion and infuse the inspiration into the original final concept.
Portrait Commissions, a 50% deposit is needed to be added to the waitlist. The commission can be canceled prior to completion; 15% of the deposit will be returned to the client. Client will have the opportunity to view the artwork before it is finished for "Approved for Completion" authorization. After the painting is "Approved for Completion" and finished the client may still cancel the commission, if this is the case the deposit will not be returned to the client. Art is very personal and subjective for both the client(s) and the artist, so in the event that a commissioned artwork is not claimed or canceled it will be released to the open market and/or galleries.
