Thom shows and explains his portrait painting process in this video:

Clients email him photos and ideas. Thom takes these to Photoshop and creates possible compositions for client to approve. Only when client is thrilled with the composition, does Thom start to paint. When finished, Thom emails image to client to see if any other tweaking is necessary. When client is pleased, Thom varnishes painting then frames it in a frame matching client’s decor. Portraits are $1,750 and include the frame.
