Commission Paintings Inspired by a Sense of Place

I'm offering a limited number of original commission paintings inspired by a sense of place . Sometimes rooted in the real world, often guided by mood, atmosphere, or feeling rather than a specific location.

These paintings are expressive rather than literal. Instead of documenting exact places, they capture the presence and emotion of being somewhere...sometimes familiar, sometimes entirely imagined.

Each painting is an original 8 × 10 inch work created in my style and interpretation.
The process leaves room for discovery, with openness and curiosity built in from the start.

Additional info

These commissions are best suited for collectors who value mood, interpretation, and process over literal representation. I do my very best to merge your vision with my artistic interpretation and style.

All pieces will be ready to hang (includes wire backing and finished edges).

The client is responsible for shipping costs. A quote for the painting + shipping will be discussed prior to scheduling the commission and calculated based on location. Local pick-up is also available for clients in the Cleveland area.

I require full payment upon scheduling a commission (I accept credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo). Due to the nature of commissioned work, payments are non-refundable once the painting process has begun.

One revision is included at the halfway point and applies to overall direction (mood, color balance, atmosphere).

Upon finalizing the painting, I will sign the piece, and prepare it for shipment.

Once the deposit is paid, we begin the fun part, getting your vision on canvas! Any further questions, feel free to contact me at info@artistvanessahenderson.com .
