On Commission

Because of encouragement from a dear friend (thank you, Elizabeth), I’ve decided to offer art on commission.

Is there a childhood home, favorite barn, or special haunt you wish immortalized in a way a photograph will just not do? 

I will do my utmost to replicate and represent your house, barn, door, or other structure to the best of my abilities. Remember, it’s not a photo, it is my rendering. Colors may not match exactly. 

I work in pencil and watercolor. 

Commissions may take weeks or longer to complete, depending on size and complexity. You get the original. I reserve the right to take photos of the finished piece and share on this blog and my social networking. I will never sell a reproduction of your commission without express permission from you. 

Price depends on size and medium. 

Email me at karenrsanderson@midco.net for more info. 

Examples of my finished pieces: 

---

Rustic 
I took an image I found on the internet and made it my own. 
It is available in prints. See my “Art Prints” page on this blog. 
(From my personal collection.)

Castle Door  
I was experiencing my Celtic awakening and researched Celtic crosses, knights, harps, swords, and medieval doors. I found an image on the internet, and then I made it my own. 
I have a few notecards available if you are interested. Also available, one print. See my “Art Prints” page on this blog.

Shawn’s Barn
This isn’t actually Shawn MacKenzie’s barn. I just painted this random barn as a gift for her to commemorate publication of her Tarot of Dragons (available on Amazon and Llewelleyn). This was a “mini” – postcard size.

Lansford Station
I did this sketch from a picture I saw in the No. 9 Mine and Museum in Lansford, Pennsylvania.
(From my personal collection.)

A little whimsy. I did this piece based on an image I saw on the internet. This piece is available in prints. See the “Art Prints” page on this blog.

Cool random house I saw in Lansford, Pennsylvania during my trip there in the early 2000s. I took a picture of the house, and then I sketched it.

This is Elizabeth’s barn in Virginia. She sent me numerous pictures, and I made this mini art. I sent this piece to her to congratulate and celebrate the publication of her first book, Heartspoken: How to write notes that connect, comfort, encourage, and inspire (available on Amazon).

Lansford Trolley
I did this sketch from a picture I saw in the No. 9 Mine and Museum in Lansford, Pennsylvania.
