A Day in the Life of an Artist

     

Have you ever envisioned the right piece of art for a certain place in your home or office but have not been able to find it? 

      From energetic still lifes to lush landscapes and portraiture, you can fill your blank wall in your home or office with an original piece of commissioned art.  * See below for "Five Easy Steps to Commission a Painting".

Recently I was commissioned to create a painting for Mariemont, OH resident, Mary Ann Fieler. Requesting a commission for her private collection, Mrs. Fieler only requirement was that the painting include pottery.

 I knew exactly what I wanted to create. Employing an antique Roseville Pottery (1930)  piece borrowed from a local collector of American Art Pottery, the still life was set upon a long piece of wood, among magnolia leaves, fruit, vegetables and one direct light source.

Thank you for viewing Mrs. Fieler's new painting.

 I would love your comments. 

"Five Easy Steps to Commission a Painting" 
 It is so easy to do!
  

Step One: What kind of commission?

Decide on what kind of commission you would like. From concept to completion, whether you are commissioning a still life, landscape or portrait, the process remains the same to bring an idea to reality.

 

Step Two: Gather your information.

What size will the painting be?  Where will it hang?  What is your deadline?

 

Step Three: The cost of a commission.

Artist gives a quote for the final painting.

 

Step Four: The painting begins.

After acceptance of the quote, the 40% deposit is due and the work will being on the painting. In the case of portraiture, the first sitting of sketches, oil study and photography will begin after payment of deposit. Soon after, a small mini painting/sketch is created to make sure both artist and client are both on the same focus for the final painting. 

 

Step Five: The client receives the painting.
The final painting is unveiled to the client and the final payment is due upon acceptance of the artwork. All artwork is 100% guaranteed.

Thanks so much for your comments on the two painting above.
The warmer weather makes one hopeful that spring is near.
We will see flowers again!!

These are my two paintings for you today.  An energetic still life and a snowy landscape.

Many are happy that the record breaking snowy days in February in Cincinnati are behind us.  However, it would not be winter without painting a snowy landscape. This was painted plein air (outside) in Sharon Woods Historical Village.

The still life painting was created in the dark at the Womans Art Club.  This is my mothers silver water pitcher and I enjoy the reflections that it creates. My goal was recording the movement with shadows and light.

Thank you for viewing the paintings. I would appreciate any comments. I learn so much from your critiques.
