Commissions
I love doing commissions: getting an assignment and hearing what inspired the need for this new work by the client. The more information about the subject, the more intersting it is to me, and the better the work ends up. Knowing I’ve infused some essential characteristics of a person or an animal into the commission gives me an extra sense of excitement because I know that most artists don’t do commissions like that. I concentrate on the needs and wants of the client rather than just trying to give it my own special ‘style’.
My work includes commissions of people and animals, and of locations where a special event has taken place such as a wedding. That makes an ultimate wedding gift that few guests/friends would think to give a couple to celebrate their marriage. This has added an extra, joyful dimension to my commission work.
