Beloved Places / COMMISSION
$300.00

Beloved Places
series of 8 × 8 commissioned paintings, oil on paper, mounted on panel.

Much of my work is about beloved places and my memories of them. Now I want to make paintings about your beloved places and memories of them.

This is a collaboration where you will send me 1-3 photos of and 1-3 sentences about a beloved space and your memories there. I will make a painting in response.

After your purchase is complete, I will reach out to you for photos and any additional information.

Please expect approximately 2 months for completion and thorough drying before I can safely ship to you.

Note: no portraits, please. :) People and animals may feature in the backgrounds of the images, but the focus must be on the space.

See images for examples of meaningful places and spaces. I look forward to our collaboration!
