Commissions |
|
Paintings and drawings can be commissioned - I specialise in landscapes and architectural studies (such as house and garden portraiture). They can make great personal presents, for people who are retiring, moving house (but would like a unique representation of their former home) or for someone who might now find it very difficult to gain access to a favourite view - one that would ideally suit a painting (rather than just a photo). I welcome illustration work, either as line drawings or paintings, for historical, architectural and landscape publications.

A few quotes from those who have commissioned my work in the recent past: "Neil came up with an imaginative way of showing 2 sides of my mother's house in the same picture, and a lovely touch of painting my mother walking round the house as well. His attention to reflections adds a lot of work for him in the painting, but gives the pictures added depth. I thought the painting was very good value, considering the time it must have taken him to do." Mrs C.Tacon of Cheshire. "The recipients of the watercolour, and the charity trustees were delighted by your painting. "A wonderful painting", " An excellent depiction of the building", "We will cherish this lovely painting", " The artist has captured for ever the spirit and emotion that went into the establishment of the Medical centre". These are just some of the comments that were said when your painting was presented to the retiring Doctor and his wife." Mr P. Clark - a Trustee and Secretary of Ashover Primary Care Charitable Trust "I wish you could have been with us when we unwrapped your picture for mum last Sunday because she was so obviously delighted with it. It's now hanging in her room and will be the first thing she sees on waking up - and that was the object of the exercise... Sincere thanks thanks again for all the time and effort you put into mum's picture. It was most definitely worth it as the end result has been such a great success." Mrs L. Hind of Derbyshire "The service is always fantastic! Neil does everything we ask and always produces wonderful paintings. His easy going manner and "nothing is too much trouble" attitude really made us feel confident that the final result would be something special." Mrs S. Clark of Cornwall My preferred medium is watercolour (once the general composition is finalised with the customer). I can work in other mediums of choice. I can also produce observational drawings/illustrations for architects and charitable organisations who need someone to record, for example, historic buildings/sites that are under threat of demolition/removal. I mainly work from my own photographs and sketches completed on site but I can work from customers photographs. Prices start at around £250 depending on distance travelled for site visits etc. (allowing approx. 2-4 weeks before completion). For further info. e-mail me at: neilclarke.artist@btinternet.com with pictures/info. Personalised A6 Notelet Cards can be produced from the finished painting/illustration.
