Another in a series of commissioned oil paintings, on canvas, 45 x 82 inches for a home in Truro, MA. The project was a collaboration between customer and myself, so it was process as well as a lovely and much appreciated end product. To work this large, my studio had to have a few accommodations and since i prefer to work in daylight, had to schedule carefully to paint around the same time each day. It was a very opening experience to work large again, as I have for a long time kept my paintings to 40 inches square since exhibits often limit size. And for a painter who usually paints in private, I was pleased to collaborate and have direct customer input - which is the requirement of any commissioned work.

After three months from ordering the canvas to seeing it displayed on the customer's wall, here is the completed 45 x 82" oil on canvas painting. If you would like to commission a painting, dimension and theme especially designed for you, contact me at 508 776 1149.

This 24 x 48 oil on canvas painting of Wellfleet Oysters was commissioned for a home in Chatham. Oversize work also is ideal also for restaurants and taverns where Raw Bar is a feature.

I have specialized in creating oil paintings of oysters, mussels and scallops for twenty years, from 4 x 4 to 36 x 48 and including a booth for nine years at the Oyster Fest.

This oil painting on a panel 36 x 48 was commissioned by a family that visits Wellfleet for a week every summer after they found me on the web. First we talked and emailed. They knew what they wanted - Wellfleet oyster shells - and could visualize the spot where the painting would hang in their home, size requirements and background color. Production was up to me and they were included in the process as I emailed progress updates. Finally, just before they left,  they came to my studio on Cahoon Hollow Road to pick up the completed painting.
