These are two commissioned paintings that are ready to be dispatched to my customer next month. They’re both custom sizes, to suit the wall spaces that the customer has available. The customer’s friend has a painting of mine that this customer tells me she has ‘admired for a while’. Following a redecoration this customer now has room for a couple of my paintings.
After a little bit of discussion we decided that I would paint un-stretched canvases measuring 136 cm x 95 cm for the painting going in their hall and 126 cm x 126 cm for the painting going in their lounge. Both paintings are based on designs of mine, although since I paint all of my pictures by hand, no two are ever quite the same.
Initially, the hall painting was going to be a square of 136 cm x 136 cm. The customer wanted the paintings to be as big as possible to maximise the ‘colourful impact’ that my art has. However, in the end the customer decided that her painting should have the same proportions as the rectangular painting of mine it was based on, so that meant reducing the height of the new painting to 95 cm.
These paintings will be rolled up and sent to the customer by courier next month, when she is back in the UK.
