Commissioned Art Works

A few years ago I made this photo, here on the right-hand side of the screen, and posted it on my flickr account. The subject matter happened to be just a tomato – a special tomato though. It was my very first tomato from seed, in my own garden, in my own backyard. I was pretty pleased. I think homegrown veggies are beautiful and I have been known to photograph almost every vegetable that’s ever come out of my garden. But, this image still remains my favorite. It was the start of a new era in my eating prowess. It was at this point when my red meat intake decreased drastically and switched away from beef and onto venison.

Okay, so now to get to the point of this post. This simple tomato image was the inspiration to my latest commissioned piece – of which was delivered to the client today. I wanted to share it with you and express how grateful I am to be able to work with individuals like that and create a custom, one of a kind, edition of one, personal piece for your home. I love it. I love everything about it. It’s why I do what I do. I want to help you make your home feel more like your home. If something of mine was your inspiration, even better. Please disregard the cell phone pics, but take a look at the result below (client was still trying to locate their hammer to hang it). The tomato image at the top of this post was a direct influence for this piece below. The composition, the colors, the size, the placement, the matting and the framing, were all designed to go into this place and this place only. This client has a one-of-a-kind, designed-for-them-only-piece, in their home. Their designer was thrilled and the family was even more so. I couldn’t be happier that I was the one who they chose and I cannot wait to work with any of you in the future.
