COMMISSION

A photo, a conversation, and a deposit can start the process

Villa Il Mocajo is a villa in Tuscany, not far from Volterra and San Gimignano where I stayed with 13 painting students and painted landscapes, drank wine and read Dante one spring several years ago. This villa has been the inspiration for many of my paintings, since I have painted it from many perspectives, trying to express the breathtaking vistas. In the one below, I added sheep who greeted us as we drove up the driveway, and the pond in the distance which were not shown in the original photograph.

Commissioned paintings typically take 4–6 weeks or more to complete, depending on the size, detail, and complexity of the painting. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to begin the commission, and work will begin once the deposit has been received. The remaining 50% balance is due before the completed artwork is delivered.
