Live Painting Process:

• Prior to the party, a moment in time (of your choice) during the wedding will be selected for Sally to paint. **

• She will arrive a few hours before the event occurs to begin painting the background. Then she will take reference photos at the event and she will start painting the couple thereafter.

• Painting begins at the event, continues through the wedding and reception, and will be completed at her studio.

• Art arrives protectively varnished, gallery wrapped and ready to hang.

• Delivery within two to four months.

• Free hand delivery if local to Orange County, or shipping via FedEx at a flat rate of $150.

**In the event that hotel fees for distance are required, they will be quoted to you at time of the booking discussion.
