Shall I commission an original and Unique Oil Painting?


Have you ever considered commissioning an original and unique work of art? An original oil or acrylic painting will last for hundreds of years and become a unique family treasure to hand down from generation to generation. You may be surprised at how little it may cost to commission such a work of art.

I would be delighted to consider your commission. I have considerable experience of painting portraits of people and animals. I also enjoy landscape painting and would be interested in discussing any ideas with you. All subjects would be considered.

What should I choose?

The size of the painting that you choose to commission will affect the price but the major consideration will be the complexity of the image. A more complicated picture will take longer to paint. The same love, passion, artistic experience and skill is applied whatever the size. 

Garry’s paintings are normally two to four feet across but he is happy to paint any size to suit your wishes. A popular size is 20 inches x 16 inches.

A typical oil or acrylic painting by Garry will cost only £250. .

How do I commission a painting?

Use the contacts page to send a message. Please include your contact telephone number and an email address if possible.

Explain what you are interested in commissioning and what sort of painting you would like to have painted.

Alternately phone on 07801 853418. You can also leave a voice message on this number.

You will be contacted very soon to discuss your wishes and requirements.

When you are happy with the idea that you have agreed upon you will normally be asked for photographs to work from.

What happens after that?

When your painting is completed (it usually takes around two to three weeks to complete a painting) I will send you a photograph of your unique work of art and at that stage you will be asked to pay the balance of the commissioning fee. Then you can make arrangements to either collect the work or to have it sent to you by whatever method you prefer.

What could be simpler or more worthwhile?

Cost of carriage - dependent upon the size of the painting and your geographical location.

Why should I commission a painting?

Nothing could be more worthwhile than commissioning an original and unique work of art to enrich your home forever.
