\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I know I know … I’m appalled that a blog post in August mentions the ‘C’ word. However, I’ve been working on a few projects lately and it highlighted to me how valuable it is to ‘be prepared’… which, I must add, has been an uphill challenge in a year when all existing plans have been reversed, transferred, postponed or abandoned.<\/p>\n

Commissioned work<\/a> is very special.<\/strong> As an artist, being entrusted to creatively produce something that captures someone’s vision, is a real honour.<\/p>\n

\"\"In the last few years my commissioned works have included places, both homes and businesses, and pets. I feel I’ve got to know quite a few dogs, after many hours studying and painting their gorgeous faces!<\/p>\n

Commissioned work takes time, of course. Not just the artwork itself, but the planning, chatting, framing and delivery – all these additional aspects need to be considered. Rushed work is not the best work – hence this blog post!<\/p>\n

So if you have a business, perhaps a beautiful gite or a restaurant<\/strong>, why not feature it as a sketch on a postcard for people to take home next year, or a collection of recipe cards on your website that people can purchase as souvenirs? I can help you with all aspects of the design and printing, or an online shop, if you need one!<\/p>\n

Pets, our special 4-legged family members, are always precious, and a watercolour portrait to capture their personality has a very different quality to a photograph (which can also be excellent – of course!).<\/p>\n

So if you like my artistic style and would like a unique piece of work for yourself, or someone special, please do get in touch<\/a>. I\u2019d be truly delighted to hear from you.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
