GARDEN COMMISSIONS
FOUR YEARS AGO, I DID MY FRIST GARDEN PAINTING IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN, MEMORIALIZING A FRIEND’S GARDEN. A MOMENT IN TIME.
DECISIONS AND DEPOSITS
Once you've decided on your garden commission, and picked out the size and materials for your piece (wood panel, canvas or linen), a deposit of half of the painting price is payed to secure your spot. Some pricing for common sizing is given below. I start painting commissions in September and can take on one painting per month through February for a total of 6 commissions per year. We decide on the available time slot ahead of time.
Photographing your gARDEN
During peak summer or late summer/fall depending on the preferred look, I come to our garden and take pictures, study compositions and make some preliminary painting studies. You can weigh in on color preferences and composition during a short consultation before and following these studies.
Final Painting
Before starting, colors and composition are in place from the previous meeting and I check in periodically with updates on how it’s going. I do my best to accommodate desires that were communicated and also paint within my style. I am not replicating photos but taking the information and turning it into a feeling.
