Common Questions

Do you paint pets?

I do not do any paintings with pets/animals. However, if they are in the background or the painting is not as focused on the animal/pet, I may consider a commission.

If you are unsure if I will accept your idea, fill out the form below or contact me at clairekesslerart@gmail.com with a clear description of what you would like.

Do you paint people?

I love painting people! I typically do full body paintings of 1-2 people with a landscape background. However, I do not do head shots, or very large family photos. Remember, I am a landscape painter, so I would be delighted to capture those you love in a beautiful background, exploring our wonderful world! :)

NOTE: All people paintings are done with a face, but without facial features. However, if there is a prominent facial feature about an individual (mustache, glasses, beard) I usually will add that.

Do you do buildings/churches/houses?

Yes! I paint pretty much any buildings, as long as a have a good composition to work off.

How much will it cost?

My commission pricing is based off square inch. I charge $0.50 per square inch + $10. So if you wanted an 8x10 inch painting, the cost would be $50.

How large/small are your sizes for commissions?

I can do any size up to 18x24 inch!

Would my painting come with a frame?

If you choose sizes 8x10, 9x12, or 18x24, your commission will come with a complementary black frame, free of charge!

If you do not choose one of the sizes listed above, you will not receive a frame, but the painting will still be wrapped with protection when you receive it!

Should I contact you directly if I'm interested in a commission?

Yes, please do! The contact form is below, or you can reach out to my email at clairekesslerart@gmail.com

Do you do live wedding paintings?

I do not do live wedding paintings at the time. However, I have done a few bridal paintings from past wedding photos/engagement shoots! This is perfect for anniversary gifts.

  • We are so happy with our picture of Monument Valley. It is one of my husband‘s favorite places. Next to your watercolor is a photo we took while we were there. This made a great Christmas gift for him. You did a wonderful job, Claire. Thank you so much!

  • Claire, I'm sure you've already heard this before but I just wanted to let you know how beautiful and meaningful your art is to me. You may have heard about the car crash that occurred in Columbia earlier this year. The night of the crash, there was a rosary said at the ICS church for the boys and families involved. After the rosary was said, I remember looking out at the sun setting over the church. It was a reminder to me that even though I was scared, confused, and heartbroken, there is always hope. Your painting encapsulates that exact image I saw that night and I can see God speaking to me through it. I just wanted to thank you for creating such a powerful picture and for you to know how much it means to me.

  • Literally brought tears to my eyes.
    It couldn’t be more perfect.
    This is the farm my husband grew up on and they tore the house down about 10 years ago. The picture you went off of is the only whole photo of the property. Thank you so very much.
