Commission Artwork

Have you been thinking about commissioning an artwork?

Whether it's a treat for yourself or a gift for a loved one, I believe buying unique, custom art shouldn't be complicated. Take a look at how it works:

1. You contact me via email/phone and we discuss your vision

2. I propose a timeline and cost

3. A 40% deposit is taken at the time of booking, and the remaining 60% is paid when you've seen (and loved) the finished product

4. I ship the finished artwork to your chosen address - yes, it's really that simple!

Swiss Lodge

I recently did a commission for a colleague. His father-in-law owns a home on Lake Windermere, and he wanted to capture the beauty of it in a painting and gift it to him for Christmas. The cabin (named the Swiss Lodge) has an amazing view across the water. I did the painting through photographs that he’s taken whilst there. I often visit the Lake District with my family but I haven’t had the opportunity to paint them yet, so I really enjoyed this project. Water is one of my favourite subjects to paint.

I find it funny (and flattering) that generally when people buy a painting, they choose art that matches their home interior. But in this case my friend’s father-in-law loved the painting so much that he wanted to hang it on a particular wall, and he had the wall repainted to match it.

The Kissing Couple

I absolutely admire watching couples kiss, especially when you can tell they are in love. I know that traditionally, or in an old fashioned way, it is the man who is seen making the first move – but there is something very moving about seeing a woman making that move, losing all inhibitions and kissing her man like there is no tomorrow with no care for if anyone is watching.

I wish I could one day paint a painting that is on a receiving end of as intense a gaze, like that of the woman passionately kissing her man. A dear friend of mine has asked me to draw a minimalist drawing of him and his wife kissing on their wedding day. I can tell just by looking at the picture that they’re in love. Looking at their picture made me think of penning these thoughts. I do believe love is the most amazing feeling one can ever feel.

A friend who knows the couple commented "Jesus Christ, how does an artist with so few lines get it 100%. If some stranger showed me this, I would know it was you two."
Memories

One gentleman for example, has asked me to paint a lane in a field identical to the one his wife used to walk in as a child. He plans to give this to her as a gift at Christmas. The images to the right show the art at different stages in the process.
Teal Owl

This was a study done for a client who is obsessed with owls. It took three attempts to get it right. This mixed media drawing looks fresh in these colours. I didn't aim to paint a picture perfect.

It is now available as a limited edition giclee print (A1) 33 x 23 inches on watercolour paper.

Skylines

A collector of mine has asked me to do two paintings – one of Durham and one of Oxford. His two sons are returning home for Christmas and these paintings will be waiting in their rooms, as a reminder of their time at university.

This was a bit tricky but I’m glad I took it on. Architectural drawings and paintings aren’t my comfort zone so this has pushed me, but I’m very happy with the end result. The experience has pushed me to start a new series looking at the skylines in the major cities throughout the UK, such as London, Edinburgh, Manchester and Liverpool.

I’ve had a wonderful response from my collectors for the skyline commission, and had multiple enquiries about painting skylines from people’s home towns/cities. I’m excited to get started! If you have an idea for a painting and want to explore it, feel free to get in touch with no obligation to purchase.

The pieces shown here are ink on canvas, 20" x 40"

Roses In A Vase

This is the second commission I took on for one of my collectors from LA. The first painting they bought from me was the very first painting from my Monet garden series, inspired by my trip to Claude Monet’s house where I noticed he never painted his garden in autumn. This family had also been to Monet’s house, and were excited to see this painting take life. I went to their home at Hermosa Beach to help them hang it and in the pictures I took, you can see the same table and vase that became their second commission – “Roses in a vase.”

This impressionistic painting incorporates that same table, the vase and flowers – The table on which the vase sits was passed down from my collectors’ grandparents to his parents, and now sits in his home. He regularly brings home these beautiful two toned flowers as a gift for his wife. The combination of history, nostalgia and emotion made this commission a delight to paint. They want their children to inherit this painting, and it’s an honour to know I’m contributing to keeping this piece of generational history alive.

The finished piece is 22 x 18 inches, acrylic on board. It took me a while to decide the composition and colours etc. but I’m happy with the outcome, and so was my collector and his family. He came to pick it up in Chicago when I was exhibiting with The Other Art Fair in Chicago.
