Commissions

Welcome to my Commissions Page! Here, you'll discover the unique opportunity to collaborate on a custom oil painting, tailored to capture your vision with my dedication to realism and meticulous detail. Explore this page to learn about my process, see examples of previous commissions, and find out how we can create a meaningful piece together.

Forming the Idea

Creating a commissioned painting is a collaborative journey. Clients typically provide their own photos, and I work from a clear digital file to bring their vision to life. If you need help choosing the perfect image, I'm here to assist. We can review your photos together, and I can even create a mock-up to show how your chosen photo would look as a painting.

The Process

My unique method involves using oil paints and painting in thin, smooth layers, gradually building up details over time. This meticulous approach ensures each piece captures the physical likeness and essence of the subject.

The Subject

Whether it’s a beloved pet, a family member, a special vehicle, or a cherished landscape, I aim to capture the unique personality and spirit of your chosen subject, turning it into a story frozen in time.

The Frame

To ensure your artwork is beautifully presented, I offer custom framing options. I can browse a variety of frames from an online framer, provide you with screenshots of frames that might complement your painting, and help you select the perfect frame to suit your taste and home decor.

The Vision

My goal is to create realistic paintings that bring your subject to life, providing a lasting memory and a timeless piece of art. Each commissioned painting is crafted with care and precision, resulting in an artwork that inspires, uplifts, and enhances your space with its emotional impact and visual appeal.
