Capturing a moment in time

The last three boards that I painted are a great example of the wide diversity of ideas that my clients have for their commissioned artworks. 

Every board is a labour of love with more than 100 hours of painting time dedicated to each of them. I love how over the course of a month I can go from painting a panoramic beach scene to painting a huge barreling wave and then a sea turtle swimming in the beautiful turquoise water of Ningaloo.

Commissions can be challenging. I am given specific ideas, reference photos and a memory or several different memories and my job is to create a one of a kind piece of art from them. Maybe the weather wasn’t perfect on the day a particular memory happened, or maybe not everyone was included in the one photograph but in my clients mind, those memories were perfect! What I need to do in these artworks is to combine and capture these important moments in one unique artwork.

Capturing and treasuring those memories is what a joy-filled and beautiful life is about…it isn’t living the perfect life, or having life go exactly like we’d hope all the time, but it is living a life where we recognize what is precious when we see it.

Capture a moment in time …

Do you have a special memory that you would like turned into a piece of sustainable art? I currently have two painting spots for May which are only available for a limited time. These can be secured today with a deposit.
