1. A "Commission" is a special opportunity to have art personalised to colour, size and
subject matter. This process connects the art collector in the closest possible way with their art
and makes the experience unique
2. "First Contact" is a meeting of the minds between collector and artist. Much attention is
paid to the desires and expectations of the collector. This is really a simple process where a
consultative approach works best. Whether this process
is started in a gallery or directly via the artist studio, the principle and guidelines below remain
basically the same.
3. "Lay of the Land" It can be helpful to observe the future location of the
artwork.. Alternatively, digital pictures of the location sent via email work also.
Ideas are formulated based on available size, lighting and various other
decorum issues. Digital pictures are taken for future reference and idea
formulation.
1. Size: (minimal sizes starting at 24" by higher. ie. 24"x36", 36"x36", 18"x60")
2 Shape and Direction (Square, Rectangular, Horizontal or Vertical)
3. Predominant colours and hues: (amount and distribution)
4. Subject matter (Landscape, waterscape, Florals, etc)
5. Overall movement, mood and flow of the painting.
6. ETA timeframes are discussed
4. "How Much?" Art works are neither sold by the linear inch nor are they
priced on subject matter. You will be surprised to hear that contrary to industry
standards, i do not increase my price for commissioned art works. Instead, i
maintain a price range of what you would normally have found in the Gallery for
my work.
5. A "Deposit" of about 25% of the investment of the painting starts the process. This part is
non refundable.
6. "Time frame" averages between 6 to 10 weeks on most works during
most of the year. Winter season's in South of France and California are similar
as far as humidity and temperatures are concerned.

7. "Certificate of Authenticity" is provided to the client upon completion of Registry. All my
works are originals, which are registered in an international clear bank in Switzerland. Bravo...you
are now the proud owner of a deRothschild painting!
8. "Sneak Prevues?...dont work well for the following reasons:
My work is of a highly abstract and impressionistic nature, and is truly the
last 10% that pull the entire painting together and make sense to the viewer.
Digital photography, only gives a vague “illusion” of what it might look like
up close. Many have commented that photographs do not show the energy
and life of my paintings. “Nice” as those pictures on the website may be, they are “stunning” in real
life!
It spoils the unveiling and surprise showing. A “First Impression” is a lasting one. For you will never
get another chance a that First Impression.
9. Finished...or is it?

i suddenly know that the painting is complete when it has become independent of me. In that
moment, the painting doesn't need me any more and has become...Art"
