How much for a portrait?

I was looking around my local craft store and was confronted by the canvasses. I have always wished I had the talent to paint. I can barely draw, although I can do some pretty good cartoon characters. But portraits? no.

I would love to have a portrait of D with Ben. Or even just D. I would be more than happy to buy the materials, but what should I expect in terms of payment to the artist? Is it common for artists to be able to paint from a picture and turn it around in two weeks? I want this to be a surprise.
