Commission Services
-
Preserve a cherished place through an original plein air painting created on site by David. Working directly from nature, he captures the unique light, mood, and spirit of the landscape in a way that only firsthand observation can achieve. Travel and materials are included in the commission estimate and tailored to the location and scope of the project.
-
Commission a custom painting of a place, landscape, or event that holds special meaning to you. David will travel to the location, when appropriate, to gather reference material and inspiration firsthand before creating your piece in his studio.
Throughout the process, you will receive up to two smaller-scale studies or preliminary versions of the painting, allowing you to provide feedback and refine the vision before committing to the final work. The result is a highly personalized original painting created in close collaboration with the artist.
