Commission - ish
Do you have a photo on your phone from a hike you loved? A trail you got engaged on? A field you drive past every morning? I want you to imagine that photo becoming a painting on your wall!
more information below
Some places only exist in your
memory and on your phone.
Let's change that.
I need your photos.
I can't be everywhere, but you have been. That golden hour field. That overlook nobody talks about. That stretch of trail that deserves more than a phone screen. Send it to me.
Commission-ish is smaller than a traditional commission, scrappier than a gallery show, and honestly more fun than both. You're not hiring me, you're handing me something real and trusting me to do it justice. Your landscape gets painted in soft pastel, documented start to finish, and shared. You get first dibs on a 6×9" original for $150, plus a credit toward the full-size version if you fall in love with it.
Your world is worth painting. Let me prove it.
The Details
Inspiration
Send me a landscape photo, that you’ve taken, local to the DMV (DC-Maryland-Virginia) preferred but not required.
Record
I will be capturing the process of each painting so I can share, for you and for future commission promotion.
For Keeps
$150 for the 6×9” painting. If you do purchase, I will include a $150 credit towards a full commission. 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 ~ $150.
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 prints in the future.
Changes
I do offer proofs and changes for a full commission piece, I will not be offering that for this project. See more in the FAQ below.

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.
