There are so many reasons why you may want a commission whether you have a special place or memory that you want captured in a painting to a particular size or a particular color palette to compliment your home.

Size of Your Commission

The scale of a painting is often something that clients struggle with. I suggest using painter’s tape on the wall to experiment with sizing options. Please email or text me photos of your space; no need for anything fancy, pictures from your iphone are perfect, along with the dimensions of your space and I’m happy to make suggestions so that we nail the scale and get the perfect piece for your space. Commissions start at 24”x24” sizing and up from there. Standard sizes include 24”x24”, 24”x36”, 30”x40”, 36”x36”, 36”x48”, 48”x48”, and 48”x60”. Custom sizes are available upon request.

Canvas Options

Standard width is 3/4” depth which you want for a standard frame. If you would like a floating frame, there are options at 3/4” or 1 1/2” depth. If you want to hang without a frame, then I recommend 1 1/2” or 2” depth. There are a lot of options with the unframed option for painting the edges - I can wrap the painting around the edges or you can choose a contrasting or complimentary color to create a fun pop.

Color

You can give me as much or little direction on colors as you want. If you have fabric samples, pictures of your space, favorite colors, etc., I can color match to fit your style. You can also share any colors you don’t like!

Final Thoughts

Once the commission is 50-75% completed, I will send you an image to make sure you are happy with the direction and colors before completing your special piece! Creating custom pieces is so much fun for me and I love getting to know my clients to make sure the execution is exactly what they want. These clients usually turn into long time friends so if you work with me be ready for that!

I’m here to answer any questions you have and look forward to hearing from you. Please send an email to inquire on getting on my commission list. I usually have a wait time of one to two months, but can sometimes squeeze something in so don’t hesitate to ask.
