The fact that it's static front page makes zero difference to uploading images. Uploading images is the same whether or not it's a static front page or just a static page.

Does the pic have to be uploaded into a gallery on the page, or can it just be a single stand-alone picture?

Yes, you can upload images into every page on your blog.
No there are no special instructions.

I am familiar with how to add a page, and how it is displayed, but what I am asking is if I do create a static page, am I able to add a picture to it? If so, is there a special way I would need to do this?

The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.
Choice 1 static front page
Choice 2 running page for all posts on front page
Which do you choose? It’s one or the other.

If you choose a static front page then you have to create two pages as I said above. After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

Hello. If I go in and create a static home page, am I able to upload a pic to be displayed on that page? If so, what is the best way to do that, and what is the size limit of the image?
