My wife wants a large painting of a brown pelican. I would like to get one painted so I can give it to her for Christmas. Anyone have any experience they can draw suggestions from? TIA.

You have 3 months to learn how to paint a brown pelican.

It would be great to spend less than $1,000. To be honest, I don't have a great idea of what is a good price point.

Go to Circa 1857. Lots of art there and they can give you the name of an artist who does commissions.

He does good work. I think his style closely resembles what my wife has in mind. I will try to contact him.

I'll paint myself brown and roll around on a campus for $100. I'll try to make it look like a pelican.

I will definitely pay you $100 to roll around campus, looking like a brown pelican.

Walt is an excellent painter. You should see the portrait of Paige he did.
