Commissions

Let's add some color to your world!

I remember distinctly the day I looked around my living room and realized that the green, grey, & black metropolitan Paris feel I was going for in my living room had accidentally morphed into a dull grey & black slump. The room was depressing. In that moment, I decided to inject some color into my home. It started with swapping the mirror above my couch with a large painting. Now my living room is alive with greens and pinks and oranges and a little bit of the whole rainbow. I've purposefully curated a space that is bright & lively because it is the room in my house where I spend the most time. I want my time there to be joyful. 

And I want to help you create that kind of feeling in your home too. Your home is such a special space. Adding a piece of commissioned artwork made specifically for you is a great way to add personality & joy. 

In the book Joyful, Ingrid Fetell Lee talks about how the city of Tirana, Albania was transformed when the mayor decided to paint the grey buildings in bright colors, "Nothing had changed, except on the surface. A few patches of red and yellow, turquoise and violet. And yet everything had changed. The city was alive, ebullient. Joyful." 

Let's add that feeling to your home!

Why Commission a piece?

A commission piece will allow you to have a say in the size, color palette, and theme of your piece to make sure that it is a perfect fit for your space. I am excited to hear about your space and the artwork you are looking to add. 

Timeline

Commission pieces take approximately 3 months to complete. Oil paint has a long dry time, and the first two months will be used to work on the piece and the last month will be used as dry time before delivery.

What's the process?

1. I highly recommend getting a good feel for my work to see what resonates with you.
  • Check out my instagram and online shop to see my artwork.
  • Think about the size of your space and the colors you want to see. 
2. Book a 30 minute free consultation call with me using the link below.
  • We'll chat about your space, what you're looking for, and how I can make that vision a reality.
  • Bring any inspiration you've got for the space (mood board, Pinterest board, a couple of saved photos).
  • I'm so excited to dream with you on how we make your space special.
  • And if you have absolutely no ideas & want me to take the creative reigns, I'm here for you. 
3. After the consult call, we'll finalize details on the size, color palette, subject matter, and feel of the painting.
  • I'll ask for pictures of where you plan to hang the painting and other details of the room to make sure the painting complements the space.
  • ​If this piece is your starting point for decor in the space, I am happy to help make decorating suggestions!
I'm so excited for the opportunity to work with you on a commission piece! And if you have something totally crazy you're dreaming up, shoot me an email at chellethepainter@gmail.com, and let's see what we can do to make that a reality.
