Commissions for Original Fine Art Paintings
by Linda Blondheim
I can create a commission painting from photographs or on location 'en plein air'. Choose your custom painting like landscapes or nature, beaches and coastal scenes, pets or your favorite animal, farms and ranches, landmarks, vintage homes and neighborhoods, studio themes like still-life, or something special. I like to do portraits in outdoor settings from photographs, as they are more casual and less formal than interior portraits.
Patrons have a variety of reasons for seeking commissioned paintings. Sometimes it is as simple as needing to have a painting which matches their office or home decor, or a special size. I'm always happy to adjust my palette to create colors which are pleasing, or to have custom sized canvases made to suit your needs.
Commissions are often requested for paintings of special places or subjects. If you would like a custom painting - perhaps your land, a vintage cottage, a favorite place where you wish for a memory to be preserved, a river or waterway, coastal scene, or rural scene please contact me. I work very closely with my clients to produce a pleasing painting. I often do location studies which I enlarge in the studio for a finished painting.
Be advised that commissioned work is a real process between you and me. Many discussions about palette, composition and style will insure your satisfaction. Remember that I cannot see inside your head to know what you are thinking. You must be willing to give me clues and direction, and you must be patient enough to give me time to work toward a finished painting that you will love.
I do preliminary studies for commissioned paintings, and I am always willing to make changes and revisions in order to please my client. A successful commission takes time and effort, so be prepared to pay more for a commission than a painting you buy off the gallery wall. Please note there will be a non-refundable deposit of 25%.
