Holiday Custom Watercolor Commissions

Holiday commission spots are officially open! Give someone a painting of a place that means something to them, or something completely unique and personal. From favorite homes and restaurants to playful animal illustrations, I’ll create a one-of-a-kind watercolor made just for you.

Available Sizes

For holiday commissions, I am only accepting orders in:

• 8 × 10"

• 9 × 12"

• 11 × 14"

What Can I Paint?

🏡 Places & Landscapes

My commissions are primarily landscape paintings focused on buildings, houses, architecture, and cityscapes.

Some favorite subjects include:

• Houses & homes

• Cityscapes

• Architecture & buildings

• Favorite restaurants

• First-date spots

🦀 Custom Animal Illustrations

I’m also open to creating something more playful and whimsical, inspired by my Coastal Crustaceans & Cocktails series.

Think animals holding cocktails, enjoying a drink, or getting into a little mischief. Have a funny idea for favorite animal, or creature? Send it my way!

Please note: I do not paint traditional pet portraits or people. Animal commissions should follow the more illustrated, playful style of my coastal series.

Materials

Each painting is created with professional-grade watercolor paints on archival-quality watercolor paper.

All paintings come unframed, ready to be displayed as-is or placed in the frame of your choice.

How It Works

1. Place your order.
Choose your preferred size and complete your purchase.

2. Send me your photos.
After you order, I’ll send you an email confirming receipt of your commission and requesting high-resolution reference photos.

Your reference photo is the most important part of the process. The painting relies heavily on having a clear, high-quality image to work from. For buildings and houses, a front-facing photo is preferred. You’re welcome to send multiple photos if you’d like me to pull different details from each.

For custom animal illustrations, please send clear, high-resolution photos of the animal and any additional references that will help me bring your idea to life.

3. Review the sketch.
Once I begin your painting, I’ll email you the initial sketch so you can make sure you’re happy with the composition before I move forward.

4. Your painting is created.
I’ll create your one-of-a-kind watercolor and keep you updated throughout the process.

Holiday Timeline 🎁

All holiday commissions will be completed by December 5th, leaving plenty of time for shipping and delivery before the holidays.

Because these are handmade pieces, commission spots are limited.

Once holiday spots are filled, commissions will close.

Copyright & Artwork Rights

As the artist, I retain the copyright to all artwork I create, including custom commissions. Purchasing a custom painting does not transfer copyright or reproduction rights to the buyer.

I retain the right to photograph, reproduce, share, and repurpose images of the completed artwork and the original concepts in my portfolio, website, social media, and shop.
