Commissions

Commission Your Own Painting

An important part of my work is capturing other people's happy moments in an individually commissioned painting. I find this process both enjoyable and satisfying. Commissioned paintings usually depict places that hold special memories and can often include family members, friends or pets. Please get in touch to discuss commissioning a painting - info@jenniferthomson.com

The Process

Once a basic idea has been settled on, I then sketch it out for your approval. Once you are happy with the composition I start the actual painting. Once I am finished, I send a photo to see if any changes are required. If there are any final changes to be made I will complete those, wait for approval and then send the painting off to my framer.
My preferred medium is acrylic paints on board or canvas. Please enquire about current waiting times.

Size & Price

The size of a commissioned painting is often around 60cm x 80cm (80cm x 100cm including frame). The price for this size is £2500. This price includes sketches plus any amendments required during the painting process. The price also includes framing. Other sizes/prices are possible depending on your requirements - please ask.

Delivery

If required, I am delighted to arrange this for you. I use a specialised art courier within the UK or I can arrange international shipping at cost.

Making the most of your commission

In the past some clients have asked me to produce prints, place mats or cards using the image from their commission. They make very personal gifts or keepsakes. I can provide quotes for this service.

See Some Examples

This scene shows an extended family enjoying their beach hut in Elie. In Grandpa's own words, the title of the painting is "What a Happy Day!".

This painting was commissioned for the couple driving their Austin Healey sports car. Various family members and their dogs are dotted around the composition.

This Edinburgh night scene, commissioned as a wedding present includes both sets of parents, the couple themselves, and some of the couple's friends.

Commissioned as a leaving present for a Head Teacher, this was a joy to paint - so many happy children, so much energy and so many bright colours!

This is one of a pair of commissions I completed for Scotmid/Semichem. I had great fun including lots of local Stockbridge characters.

In another familiar Edinburgh scene, this extended family make their way to The Canny Man's for lunch. There are lots of personal details within the painting such as the camper van and the classic sports car.
