I received an inquiry from a young lady recently -- she had seen my artwork on-line and liked it (which, of course, I do encourage -- viewing and liking!). Her grandmother had passed away and left some palette knife oil paintings which she liked, as did her sister. So, I was commissioned by her to recreate a 12"x16" palette knife oil painting, sizing it down to an 8"x10" artwork. The smaller one would be more affordable, of course, and a standard size is easy to frame. You can see the end result above -- I e-mailed her a photo of the finished work, she was pleased, and now this piece of art is on its way to her sister! Yaay!
Commissions can be a challenge to create -- the client and the artist need to stay in touch -- but are also a fun challenge and painting a different size image from the originally view piece of art is like reliving a couple of memories -- reviewing the flower, landscape, skies, whatever the subject may be and then reliving the original act of painting again, but to a different scale. I recommend it!
