Commission Stories
Awe & Wonder - Georgian Bay Sunset Series
This series of 3 paintings show my creative process as I explore a stunning commission for a client's dream cottage in Georgian Bay. Starting with a list of words, I created linears that became colour studies that became my client's vision of her happy place.
Tobi's Happy Place
I am honoured to have made this tender commission in memory of a client's wife who passed from cancer. This gentleman has donated the painting to hang in the oncology department at The Ottawa Hospital where his wife had seen Craig's Dragonfly Ascending into Twilight painting hanging
3 Sisters and a Dog named Chief
This fun commission was a couples 50th anniversary gift to each other!
