If you have ever stood in front of a painting and thought “I wish someone could paint that for me,” a custom oil painting commission is exactly what you are looking for.
A commission is simply an original painting made to order. Instead of choosing from available works, you work directly with the artist to create something entirely new. The subject, the size, and the mood are all shaped around what matters to you.
I take custom oil painting commissions for a wide range of subjects. Nature, landscapes, trees, water, and meaningful personal subjects are at the heart of most of my work, but I am open to other ideas. If you have a favorite place, a landscape that holds personal meaning, or a subject you would like to see captured in oil on canvas, I would love to hear about it.
The process begins with a conversation. You share your vision and I will let you know whether it is something I can bring to life. From there we agree on size, timeline, and details before I begin work on the painting.
A custom oil painting commission also makes a deeply personal gift. Unlike a purchased painting, a commissioned work is created entirely around the person receiving it, which makes it one of the most thoughtful things you can give someone for a wedding, an anniversary, a significant birthday, or any occasion that deserves something truly lasting.
I am based in Culpeper, Virginia and welcome commission inquiries from collectors across Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, and the Washington DC area. I also ship across the United States.
If you are ready to start a conversation about a commission, please get in touch. I would love to work with you.
