Commissioning a Painting
When I make a painting for you I am aware that it will become a part of your life for many years to come, so I want to create something that has an ongoing positive influence in your life.
In dialogue with you and through my own intuition I intend to make a work that will inspire you, give you hope and help you daily to regenerate.
The the first thing I do before putting paint to canvas is to turn down the noise of my own thoughts and focus on you, asking how I can best create a painting that will be beneficial and uplifting.
Everyone who comes into my house also falls in love with her (Libby’s) art and I have a queue of people already offering to buy it from me. I will never sell it. Its vibrant colours, the perspective, the depth, the passion Libby puts into it, the story behind it all create an amazing work of art.
Where do we begin?
By clicking on the link below you can contact me and we can set up our first conversation by Skype or via email if you prefer.
So here is what you can expect when you get in touch.
- Together we build an idea of the concept and feeling for your painting, we discuss the compositions you enjoy, the size you need and colours that will work for you.
- Next, I make rough sketch/sketches and email these to you along with a final price and a summary of everything we talked about.
- Once you are happy with the rough sketch and ideas we have discussed, I’m grateful if you pay 30% of the final price so I can buy the canvas and paints etc. The remaining payment is not due until the painting is finished, but you can also pay in monthly instalments if you prefer.
- Then I begin painting for you! Depending on the size of the painting and my schedule, your painting will take between 2-8 months.
- When I have finished I will send you photographs and a date for when the painting will be ready to be shipped to you. Once you have paid the final payment (and shipping cost if needed) I will organise for the painting to be shipped to you.
Do get in touch, even if you are still undecided. It would be great to talk through your ideas. I look forward to working with you to create an enduring source of peace and beauty in your home.
Testimonials
When I met Libby Page, I was truly at a low point, facing some serious challenges in my life. Some days I felt lost, facing the unknown, uncertain about everything in my life.
It was at this time that Libby began making a painting for me. When she showed it to me, I was completely shocked and overcome with gratitude. There before me was an inspiring image – a path through the trees and a brilliant light at the horizon. The painting spoke deeply into my situation and gave me hope that there was a way through.
Even now, years later- the painting that Libby created brings me back time and time again. It shows me both where I was and where I am going. It got me thinking about the power of Libby’s work and my own understanding of what it means “to heal” in my work as an acupuncturist. I wanted to express to others the power of her work as “healing through art.”
“L’espoir” (The Hope)
Great news.
The painting arrived entirely in good order and is now proudly hanging on our wall.
Absolutely fantastic and thank you so much.
