    I prefer to have the actual shoes in order to compose the painting and achieve a
    higher level of detail and color matching. Any shoes mailed to me will be carefully
    handled and returned with the finished painting.

    If you send a picture instead, the finished painting will look like your photo so
    pay careful attention to details when you are composing the shot and realize
    that I may ask you to retake the picture if it is out of focus, underexposed (too
    dark), or overexposed (too bright and washed out).

    Step 1: E-mail me with "Custom Shoe Portrait" as the subject
    Provide general details of the shoe portrait you want painted and let me know of
    any specialized requests (background color preference, multiple pairs on a single
    canvas, etc.) If you will be mailing me the shoes, I will send you my shipping
    address in my reply e-mail. If you are e-mailing a picture, attach it to this e-mail
    in jpeg format.

    Step 2: Send me a non-refundable deposit (50%) with your shoes
    I accept payment by PayPal, money orders, and personal checks - let me know
    which you prefer. When I receive your shoes and payment I will notify you by
    e-mail and begin painting your custom shoe portrait. Upon completion (about 2
    weeks), I will e-mail you a picture of the finished portrait and you will have 10
    days to pay the remaining 50%. When your final payment has cleared, I will ship
    your painting (and shoes) and contact you with package tracking information.
    When it arrives, please contact me with your reaction to the painting.

    Note: If you decide for any reason not to pay the remaining 50% upon
    completion of the painting and you have mailed your shoes to me, I will
    return the shoes at my expense and the painting will be listed for sale.
