Commission a Special & Personal Piece of Art
Have you got a special view in mind?
Is it for you?
There are a lot of reasons you may consider having a commission done especially for you or another...
For a special gift? Birthday, Wedding, Christening or just because...?
Perhaps you need a large decorative piece to complete your newly decorated room? Or several pieces to make your whole house feel more like home?
Is your aim to have hints of the exact shade of blue or pink in the piece so it blends with your colour palette to compliment the rest of the room/s it/they will be displayed in?
Maybe it's a missed chance on a previous painting?
You immediately fell in love with it, but didn't act quickly enough and it had sold by the time you returned to the Gallery to purchase? This could lead you to commission a similar piece as you still feel like kicking yourself for missing it !?
Commissions are a surprisingly easy way to get exactly what you would like.
If you have a particular view in mind then take a look at the artists' work on this website and/or in the Gallery to choose an artist's style that you particularly like. Once you have chosen an artist the next step is to have a chat with us. The majority of our artists are more than happy to do commissions and through the Gallery will work with you to capture the image you are thinking of.

If you missed a piece that has been in the Gallery but sold then we will work with you and the artist to get a similar painting. We deal with original paintings rather than prints so the picture will of course not be exactly the same. However, do you really want an exact replica of a painting someone already has? Original art is just that original and one-off.
Getting a Commission done is exciting and will give you a special connection to the piece that will hang on your wall, for you to enjoy, for years to come.
Do consider the timing of your commitment to a commission.
It can take artists various lengths of time to create a piece. This is down to their previous commission and exhibition commitments, the time it takes the medium they paint in to dry and the framer to frame a piece. If it is for yourself and you just want that perfect painting and you are happy to wait that is fine. If it is for a special occasion for a friend or family member please give us as much advance notice as possible as we do not want to rush something that you have put so much thought into.
I do hope this has convinced you that a commission might be the right choice for you and if you have any more questions please do not hesitate to contact the Gallery as we are more than happy to help. We love being part of secret surprise gifts : )
