The First Step: Let's talk about what size you need.
1) Where are you planning on hanging the art? Is the new painting intended for a specific spot?
2) Do you need a portrait or landscape orientation? Portrait is vertical where the art is talller than it is wide. A landscape is horizontal where the image is wider then it is tall. Sometimes pinning a piece of paper on the wall will help you .
There is really no size too large. Rio will work with you to determine your best options. Maybe you need a diptych (2 panel) or a triptych (3 panel) or more to create the painting that is just right for your space.

The Second Step: Select what speaks to your soul
1) Browse the website to view an extensive collection of Rio's work. Don't forget to visit the 'Archives' section.
2)Select one painting, or elements from several that catch your eye. Maybe you have some photographs of your own you would like to submit. Rio can paint you a special painting combining all the elements you like into one unique original.
3)After the details of the painting have been decided, a link will be sent to you to purchase your commission via secure online invoice. You can pay through your online shopping cart, or by check, and those details can be worked out with Rio.
The Third Step: You approve your commission
1) Time for Rio to draw your composition. Once the rendering is done on the canvas, Rio will email you images to ensure that everyone is on the same page. If you have some changes to add to the composition, this is the time to get it done.
2) Rio will then spend several days, to weeks carving your commission, depending on size and subject matter. When the carving is completely dried, she will send you more images and let you know if she thinks something needs to be added at that point. Once the painting is carved, it cannot be changed.
3) After the carving is set up, Rio will spend several days to several weeks adding hundreds, sometimes thousands of layers of paint and glazes to your piece.
4) After your painting has been approved, we will carefully wrap it up, box it up, and ship it
via Fedex. Each piece is packaged in heavy duty boxes and fully insured to insure your painting arrives in perfect condition. In only a few days you will be able to hang your new
