Although many of the paintings on functional wood items, slate, or other surfaces are portrait commissions as well, this page is for more typical commissioned paintings
done on wood panel, masonite (hardboard,) paper, or canvas.
For commissions my preferred medium is acrylic, however I also work in oil and watercolour. Pricing depends on the style and medium.

Baby Frankie, 10" x 10", acrylic on birch panel |
A unique style focuses on close-ups and allows the subject to be much larger, truly 'filling the frame' for strong impact, with little or no background. Painted in acrylics on birch panel and varnished for protection, they are available in a wide variety of sizes. Panels come in either gallery depth (1.5") or regular depth (1") and the edges are painted so the piece needs no framing. Hanging hardware is included and the painting can be hung on the wall as soon as it is received. Most sizes are available in both depths however some sizes may be available only in regular depth or gallery depth so please let me know if you have a preference.

In 2003 I was commissioned to do 4 paintings for the Bearded Collie Club of America National Specialty. The paintings represented the 4 aspects of the specialty - conformation, obedience, agility, and herding, and I was given instructions on what was to be included in order for them to be indicative of the area in which the specialty was being held - Asheville, North Carolina. These paintings were then reproduced on to various sizes of wooden boxes, which were given out as trophies. Each painting measures 11" x 14" and was done in acrylics on masonite. |

Conformation
Although the specialty was in North Carolina, they wanted to make sure to include a little bit of South Carolina since the club hosting the national was the Carolinas Bearded Collie Club, so I was asked for this painting to include a particular fountain located in Charleston, SC, which is shaped like a pineapple, as well as some azaleas. |
 |
Obedience
I was given a reference photo to work from for this painting, featuring an accomplished obedience Beardie sitting on the stone wall overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. I added the obedience dumbbell. |
 |
Agility
For this painting they wanted a beach scene, with the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, and a Beardie or Beardies jumping the snow fencing used to prevent beach erosion. |
 |
Herding
North Carolina has a lot of golf courses, so for the herding painting I was asked to have a Beardie herding Canada Geese off a golf course. |
