Recent commissions have come from persons with cherished old photographs they would like transformed into paintings. "Every person has some of these," Anderson says. "It may be a favorite photograph of a grandparent or parent whose memory that they cherish. The photos are often faded, poorly cropped or lighted, but that only adds to their charm."
Anderson has also done commissioned paintings of living people. For those, she meets the subjects, takes numerous photographs, and works out a composite composition. She prefers not to paint formal portraits of people staring from the canvas. "I find them quite boring," she says. "Although I would like to work from life, it is difficult, if not impossible, for subjects to hold an active pose for the amount of time it would take. If the subject is an adult, one or more short, live sessions may be possible." Prices for commissioned paintings similar to those shown on this page begin at $850 (small, simple painting) and increase according to size and complexity. For an estimated price on your proposed work, contact the artist directly. |
