Commissioned paintings, the process and a few examples


 I have been really enjoying taking commissioned paintings on during this strange lockdown time, and would love to share a few with you. 

To find out more about my commission process please take a look here on my website. I am also partnered with GoCardless, which allows me to design an interest free payment which is right for you, if you would like to spread payments over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

Please see two 80x200cm paintings for friends, one inspired by the other in terms of size.

The top painting is inspired by summer in the alps, cool blues and green dominate. the bottom piece is altogether hotter and has quite a lot of florescent painting, and a glimpse of the sea.

 







 

Me! Holding up the painting for a little photo op in our home. I have a warm grey wall which is a great tone for almost all artworks.

In contrast a squarer painting created for friend and florist @generousgardener , a lovely lady who lives just a few miles away from me in Kent

Hello!


It has been a very long time since my last post, February in fact.

So much has happened in the world since then. Here in my corner of Kent, south east England it feels great to get back to blogging again.

I spend quite a lot of time on Instagran, and have found that the artitssupportpledge initiative has been a fabulous way to make new friends, sell artwork, and find clients for other paintings and commissioned work. Each painting sold with this scheme must be no more that £200, and each time I reach a £1000 milestone in sales, I buy a piece from another artist for £200...genius! I have a few examples of paintings sold this way below.

I have also made several large commissioned pieces in the past three months, more than I would usually expect to do, and it's been such a joy to me. I really love to interact with clients, find out what they like and try to create something special. More often I work with online galleries or art consultants and interior designers,  speaking directly with clients is definitely something special.

Take a look below for a few examples, and don't forget, you can always email me for more information abut creating your own commissioned painting which will be personal for you, and fit seamlessly into your home.

Two winter roses

I cannot tell you how much I love to work on tiny canvasses! They are so so good for experimentation, colours and shapes get pushed around the canvas surface, and layers of paints build up.

These are my two latest efforts...my favourite is Winter Rose III, I love the khaki green/orange/pinks palette.
