If you commission a painting by Timothy deVries, please do not expect a photo-realistic reproduction of your source material. I might be interested in digging through your family albums and photo archives to find inspiration for your statement piece, or to take my own photographs of your subject matter to create a composition. As a student of life and human nature, I feel that this inspiration-gathering stage is an important step to structure your painting.
We will have a conversation around this time as well about the size of the painting, the location where the painting will be hung, and potential framing options. Following this stage, I might prepare a study before moving onto the final work of art. As I get to work, I will request your patience and respect for the artistic process, since your piece may take time. But I will work toward a firm date that we have determined in advance.
You may want to commission a painting by Timothy deVries if you’d like a material representation of your artistic taste, and to share your vision. Generally, commissioned paintings will focus on personal subjects, such as family portraits, significant events in your life, or on buildings, pets, or landscapes that mean a lot to you. Such paintings attest to your values and the importance of making them visible in paint on canvas, since you can be sure the final work will be as unique as you are.
When you display a commissioned painting in your home, office, cottage or place of business, it will become a conversation piece. People who see the painting will want to know about the subject of the painting, and why that subject is important to you. That’s why it’s critical to choose your subject matter carefully, and for us to work closely together on a composition that makes a lasting impression.
