You can commission Jonathan from his web site and it's entirely
up to you what you'd like.
"Whether in oils or pencil I'm happy to oblige. Oil paintings
generally start from 10" x 8" in size and can go as large as your
wall permits! Prices for oils on canvas start at £1,000 (approx
U.S.$1800). This doesn't include framing but it does include all
postage, packing and insurance (International or within the UK.)
Pencil sketches are extremely popular and make interesting and very
personal gifts. Sizes for these vary but are normally either A3
or the larger A2 size. At around £195 (approx U.S.$325) are an excellent
investment to. If you decide you'd like to commission me a pencil
work, your pet elephant, your dog etc please allow about 4 weeks
or so. If it's a late decision for a birthday gift and you need
it a week from today then just tell me to get on with it!!
A note about the value of my oil paintings.
I've found my prices steadily rising over the years
and this is good news for clients who have already bought from me.
It creates a realistic solid base value without peaks and troughs.
Rest assured no one is working harder than me to secure your investment
in an original Jonathan Truss.
I'm proud of my association with one of the oldest and most respected
fine art publishers Solomon & Whitehead and this I hope will be
for the long term. In 5 years prices have doubled and in 5 years
from now I sincerely hope they'll do at least the same again. Naturally
there are no guarantees, but the good news is that art has nearly
always promised excellent returns. Especially in the long term.
There's also good news for me, Wildlife art, growing in popularity
seems to increase in value without the artist dying!!
