Commissions
Only a painting
can capture the unique qualities of that moment in time with lasting qualities
that will be with you always. The infinite range of colours and permanence
of rich living soft pastel pigments that change their hue with the time
of day and the season can never be reproduced by photographs, prints or
computer images. A painting then becomes a 'living' piece of art that
can be enjoyed ..... forever!
What will it cost? the first
question always asked!
The standard
price for a head study of your pet is £185 (€260 euros) and
the same for a small landscape or still life. This will be placed in a
suitable mount to fit in a standard frame size of 10" x 12"
or 12" x 14" depending on the study. The cost of larger pictures
to be negotiated.
What do I need to do? . .
. comes next!
For pet portraits,
you will need to supply a good photograph, either colour or black and
white ~ several photographs are always helpful.
Colour is often
very inaccurate in photographs, for this reason I would like to meet your
pet to confirm the colour and those vital characteristics that will make
this picture extra special to you.
No photo's
~ no problem, I can take these for you and you can choose the view you
would like of your pet.
Most
landscape paintings are resourced on location (depending where they are
an extra charge may be made), however a location photograph can be useful.
But I don't live in your area?
… no problem!
This is where
technology comes in ~ I will email you the image at various stages for
your approval, firstly in the drawing stage so you can decide on the image/view
you prefer, then when I feel the piece is complete for your comments and
approval.
You
are under no obligation to accept the painting until you are entirely
happy
