New Commission: “Northern Garden”

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.
