"I commissioned Harriet to create a piece of artwork for my wife's 40th birthday - and I am so happy that I did.I asked Harriet to capture a scene in London that was special for my wife and me. Harriet was so easy to deal with and genuinely interested in our story and wanted to understand it in order to capture what was important to us.I felt that I was in safe hands throughout, with great communication and updates. I requested a few changes at the intermediate point of the process and Harriet was brilliant in translating my non-artist observations into actionable adjustments.The end result we are incredibly happy with - it hangs pride of place in our home!" – Stuart, Australia - Commission 2022

"We had a painting commissioned by Harriet of our time in London and are thrilled with it! Harriet was so professional to deal with and worked so hard to get the piece perfect for us including making trips to the location to find the perfect vista as we now live in Australia. We have added it to our other piece by Harriett and have also displayed one of the three studies she did before the main piece as the quality was so good! It is a wonderful piece which we will treasure and remind us of this special time in our lives. I would highly recommend entrusting Harriet with your art vision." – Lucie, Australia - Commission 2023

An expert and professional service

Three steps to your dream painting

STEP 1

Enquiry and contract

After you enquire, we will discuss availability and the details of the commission. No need to have a fully-formed idea yet, we can work on that together.

Next, I'll send you a commission contract to digitally sign. You'll then receive an invoice via Paypal. A first instalment of 20% is due in order to secure the commission spot.

Then, we will work together to figure out precisely what you want…

STEP 2

Sketches and concept

When I start your commission, the most important thing is to work out exactly what you want.

I explore concepts and compositions with sketches and small paintings. I send you photos of these and incorporate your feedback.

Once we know what it will look like, I start on the final piece….

STEP 3

Final piece and delivery

I send you regular progress photos so you can give feedback. We make sure your painting is exactly what you envisioned.

Once it's finished, the second instalment of the invoice is due.

Your painting is left to dry for a few weeks before I apply a coat of protective varnish. Then, it’s packaged securely and shipped with full tracking.

Then, you can frame, hang and admire your custom painting forever!
