Art should inspire, not intimidate. Consider purchasing art that speaks to you; art that draws you in; art that is rich with a sense of mystery. When collecting, start with what you like and take into consideration the investment potential. Consider purchasing the strongest piece you can live with. Collectors taste in art usually evolves and can quickly outgrow art that is topical and decorative which does not challenge them. Weber Fine Art takes pride in offering art with a high degree of craft, consistency, and quality. Much of our artist’s work is media intensive using a variety of materials to craft the work. Weber Fine Art will do their utmost to ensure you are happy. However, buying a piece of art is an important decision, so please take the time to read the contents of this section to make sure you are fully satisfied with our purchase and commission arrangements before ordering. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Weber Fine Art. Please note that although the artwork’s title of ownership will be transferred to you upon purchase, all copyrights remain the property of the artist.

Communication is vital in the success of your commission, don’t be intimidated with your ideas. Tell us what you like and why you like it, in person, over the phone, by email or other electronic means. Once a solid idea has been communicated, the artist will render like-examples, which in some cases, may include the room or environment in which the painting will be installed. All renderings are approved by the client along with a commission contract which further explains the process and can be provided before ideas are exchanged.

Some artists are more sensitive than others and may be less willing to have their work delegated by a client. All of our artists are open to ideas and will communicate whether or not they are comfortable with the project. To date, our artists have been comfortable with all commission assignments. None of our original pieces will be reproduced other than limited edition prints.

The painting process begins upon the receipt of a non- refundable down payment of 50% of the total price, with the remaining 50% due upon pickup of completed piece, or before shipment. Clients outside DC will receive a photo of their commission before making final payment. Commissions can take up to 3-6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the commission.

There are several factors that can influence the value of art, such as the artist’s exhibition history, education, and bibliography; the work’s size, media, and productions costs; and finally, the provenance of a particular work and its availability. Prices are subject to change without notice and will include the frame, if applicable. As editions sell out or the demand for an artist’s work increases, prices may also increase. Price quotes are valid for fourteen days and will normally be quoted in U.S. dollars. Price quotes in local currencies available on request.

Because of the many factors involved in deciding the final price for commissioned work, it is best for both parties to go over each item one-on-one.
