I recently was at an art auction in Orlando. Peter Max was there. One of the auction items was to have Max take a photograph from you - say a family portrait - and he would paint an original oil from it - about the same size as you asked about.
The winning bid was $16,700 by a young couple. They asked if they could put it off for 6 months as the woman was expecting their baby at that time. (From the way Peter Max looked, they are pushing their luck!)
Ah, it must be nice to have that kind of money while young.
