[Brenda Lower]

So, just a quick check in on all my PYO swap participants- How’s everything going? Have you been able to get the figure you wanted to paint? Any questions we can help with?
Please remember not to mail them until November 1st, even if you finish it earlier!

Just so I’m accountable too, I have the blank, but still waiting for inspiration to take hold before I start painting.

Artist Name: Brenda Lower (name is same as forum name)

Artist Contact Info:
Message me here or email me at brenlower@gmail.com Please make sure to put Windstone PYO in the subject so I know what to watch for. If you don’t hear from my email within a few days, please message me here instead- it may have gone to my junk mail.
I’m also on facebook in a couple of the Windstone fan groups.

PYO Painting Rates:

My price ranges depending on the complexity of the piece- these prices are estimates only! Extra complicated or specialized paints may require additional cost. I do have some extra eyes from Windstone, plus some specialty eyes (extra cost) that we can discuss using.
As you can see from my examples, I’ve painted mostly dragons, but do have some experience with other sculpts as well. I am willing to work with a wide range of colors, love metallic paints, and enjoy discussing possibilities with you. None of the prices below include the sculpture or the price of shipping back to you. Typically, I like people to buy the sculpture and ship it directly to me. We can work out other arrangements if you’d like. I do not generally have extra sculpts on hand, so please take that into consideration.
I do work full time plus have other commissions I work on, so may not be able to do rush jobs. My typical turn around once started is 4-6 weeks after receiving the sculpt.

Sculpture__________________Painting Only!
Griffin____________________ $65-$100
Kitty Griffin_________________$45-$80
Kirin______________________Have not done, please message with ideas for price
Dragon (small)_____________$65-$100
Wolf_____________________Have not done, please message with ideas for price
Keeper (big dragon)________$100+
Unicorn____________________$65-$100
Phoenix____________________Have not done, please message with ideas for price
Hippocampus_______________$75-$125

Types of paint/materials used: I use craft acrylics/metallics and Arteza Metallic paints, depending on the desired outcome. I have used antiquing in several of my projects, and I finish by sealing with a clear finishing spray.

Are pet portraits offered (when applicable): I haven’t done any pet portraits, but would be willing to try.

Shipping method (e.g., double boxed, UPS only, etc): All shipping will be done in Windstone boxes- double boxed and well padded. I prefer USPS, but am willing to discuss options.

Shipping rates/insurance: I charge you what the post office charges me to ship. I can include extra insurance if desired at your cost.

Ships to: US and Canada

Artist location: Utah, US

Do you take payment plans or have any “Terms of Service”:
Typically, I like people to buy the sculpture and ship it directly to me- I consider this a good will gesture, and don’t require a down payment if you are sending the sculpture to me. If that is not possible, a down payment of the cost of purchase and shipping of the sculpt would be acceptable.
Price of the piece plus shipping is typically due once the piece is finished and before I ship the piece. I am willing to work with people, and I stay in contact by sending photos of progress along the way.

Please message me with questions! I love painting these beautiful sculptures, and would love to work with you on a project!

I’m including a few samples of my work, but see this thread for even more!

And my most recent project was a little kitty griffin in blue with peacock feathers. He was so fun to work on! Definitely doing more of these!

[Brenda Lower]

I also had a couple dragons that I painted as a commission for another windstone fan!

[Brenda Lower]

Along the way I painted a hippocampus- Arany, the Golden Rainbow. My plan was slightly different, but he turned out amazing!

[Brenda Lower]

Then I did a series of elemental based dragons.
First was Finnigan, the lucky earth dragon.

Then was Brielle the Air Dragon

Next was Damascus the fire dragon

And last was Thalassa the water dragon. I love the way she came out!

[Brenda Lower]

Then I did one for the Spring 2021 swap. This is Fiona, the forest dragon.

[Brenda Lower]

Ooo! Ooo! I’d love to join!
Such cute pieces!

[Brenda Lower]

Hooray! Congrats!

What a fun way to decide!

[Brenda Lower]

One more quick note- once you have received the prompt for the person you’re painting for, please respond to it so I know everything is good. I’d just like to confirm and make sure everyone gets their swap piece. Thanks!

[Brenda Lower]

We have over 45 people participating this fall! Woo hoo!

I’ve message everyone with assignments, please let me know as soon as possible if something doesn’t work for you.

A couple quick notes:

Please remember not to post pictures of your work in progress. We’d like it to be a surprise when the person receives their piece.

Also, please do not ship before November 1st. We’d like everyone to receive their piece around the same time.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much to everyone for being willing to work with the various prompts! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

It’s been such an incredibly HOT summer here, I’m getting just tiny bits of things. A small handful of cherry tomatoes is all I’ve managed to get so far!
