Monday Motivator: What Others Don’t See

Commission a Painting

I enjoy the challenge of commissions and am happy to discuss possibilities, whether you’ve seen a painting you like but it’s no longer available, you’re after a particular size or dominant colour, want an amalgamation of favourite elements from different paintings of mine, wish for a painting featuring your house/location, etc. Another alternative is to have first option on my next painting in a particular series. I also do commissions for wirework and my wearable art.

Prices of commissioned paintings are the same as my other paintings, a 20% deposit may be required. How long it takes depends on what else I’m doing and the size of the painting, but usually between a fortnight and eight weeks.

Email me, or or we can arrange to meet in Skyeworks Gallery for a discussion if you’re on-island.

Monthly Painting Projects

At the beginning of every month on my blog I post the instructions for the month’s painting project. Everyone is invited to join in, whatever medium you work in and wherever you are on your painting journey. At the end of the month, I post a photo gallery of paintings submitted, and I encourage you to share yours too. Participation in this is free. There is also the option to become a Project Subscriber (via Patreon) which is a monthly subscription that gives you to exclusive extra content including step-by-step demos, videos, and a critique of your project painting.
