This is the website of Dutch portrait painter Frank van Wezel.

 

I make oil paintings in commission based on good, sharp photographs. 

You’ll be able to get an idea of my painting style by going to the page ‘recent works’.

Don’t you agree such a portrait makes the ideal present?

If you like my painting style and you decide to let me make a portrait for you, you can fill in the online application form and send it to my e-mail address (fmvwezel@me.com) along with the digital photograph of the person to be portrayed.

 

This is how it works:

1 - You send the completed form and the digital photograph to my e-mail address.

2 - I shall let you know as soon as possible by e-mail whether the photograph is suitable, what the production time will be, the possible waiting time and all relevant details of the oil portrait. I’ll also let you know the total cost and the initial payment.

3 - If you agree with these terms, you’ll provide the initial payment; after I receive the money, I will send you an order confirmation.

4 - As soon as the painting is finished, I shall send you a digital photograph of the painting by e-mail. If you are content, you pay the rest of the money and I send the portrait - carefully packaged - to the address you supplied. If you are not fully satisfied, please contact me and discuss what you want to be altered. I will then try to make it more satisfactory to you. If you are completely dissatisfied, you will let me know, and you owe me nothing else. Of course you will not receive the painting in that case.

5 - After the sending of the portrait, I cannot be held responsible for damage or loss of the painting.

6 - In all cases I remain the copyright owner. You allow me to publish a photograph of the portrait as an example of my work of art, e.g. on my website.

7 - I cannot be held responsible if someone claims that the portrait is a violation of any right. Claims can only be laid on the buyer.
