Spent a good chunk of time this Labor Day weekend finishing up a larger commission. When a commission starts with great buyers, great input, great subject matter, and a beautiful home where the resulting piece will reside, you have the perfect recipe for a successful piece. This larger canvas, done for a home in Dutchess County, NY, was super fun from initial discussions, through developing the composition in charcoals, collaborating on palette, and throughout the painting process. The barn is actually part of their stately property, and in addition to being the subject of this painting, a couple other pieces were inspired by it. “Northern Garden” 68 x 42 o/c.
Recently completed a larger commission of a barn on an amazing property in Dutchess County, New York. I’ve been to that part of the state a few times, and have seen some of the most amazing farms there. This smaller piece was done of that same barn, from a different angle, and considerably smaller. “Dutchess” 20 x 16
