Commission - ish
Over the next 4 weeks, I am challenging myself to do 12 commission-ish paintings, with your help!
My goal is to paint more local scenes, but I can’t be everywhere. That’s where you come in! I hope you will share a landscape image with me that I can paint and eventually share. It is called commission-ish because I’m painting smaller than I normally do for commissions, and I’m asking you to submit images rather than you soliciting me.
All of this ultimately helps me clarify my process and create images and videos to show that process. Keep scrolling and reading if you're interested.
The Details
Inspiration
Send me a landscape photo, that you’ve taken, local to the DMV preferred but not required.
Record
I will be capturing the process of each painting so I can share what it is like working with me, for you and for future commission promotion.
For Keeps
$150 for a 6×9” painting. This will also serve as a credit if you wish for a larger commission completed this year. See more in the FAQ below.
Framing
Framing is not included, but it is available. I use a professional framer local to me. Mat, frame, and shipping cost is ~ $100.
First Dibs
You will get to see the finished painting first and decide if you want to keep it or pass.
Review
After you receive your original artwork, I would love a review from you to help me continue growing.
Pass
If you pass on the original commission painting, it will be added to my shop.
All paintings will be available as a print in the future.
Changes
I am not offering changes for these paintings, the goal being to get everything clear and precise before starting each piece. See more in the FAQ below.
Frequently Asked Questions

For this project as whole, I hope to paint every piece during the next 4 weeks.

You get first dibs! Once your painting is done, I will send it to you in an email. Each painting is $150. If you decide to pass on purchasing, I will add the original painting to my shop.
All paintings will eventually be prints, especially if the painting is of a local DMV scene.
Framing is available as an additional fee. I use a professional framer. They use techniques to avoid fall out and offer glass that is UV and anti-glare. To add this service is an additional $100.

All are available depending on your location. Otherwise, shipping is included.

If you purchase your painting, and want a larger piece, you may use the $150 as a credit toward a larger commission of the same scene when completed by the end of the year (2026).

No, I don't. If you add framing, you will receive everything you need to add your art to your home.
