James,
I actually did offer a commission but the receptionist wouldn't take it. She says she enjoys a variety of new work every month and doesn't think she does much to warrant a fee. I did let her pick 2 pieces she liked for her home and she's very happy with that.

I should also add that I purchase my own matte(s) from a artist supply house and the framing/matting shop keeps it at there shop for me. It works out much cheaper to have them just cut the mattes that I supply than have them supply and cut the matte.
