Painting Commissions

Pet Portraits Gloucestershire - Sam James Horse ArtistsSam loves nothing more than accepting painting commissions and has made it a simple process for everyone. Commissioning a piece of art is a great way to introduce original artwork into your home. Pet portraits and local landscapes make great gifts in smaller sizes. Larger commissions allow you to enjoy much more than a photograph and complement the unique style of your home.

Sam prefers working with oil on canvas, using bold colours and backgrounds. When requested, she digitally edits them to help capture personalities or moods. There are no constraints to Sam’s creativity. She will happily paint any subject, or even work with you to create something truly unique. Her contemporary style allows her to create mythical creatures based on real animals, such as her unicorn collection.

Sam typically works from photographs. She will ensure that you are involved throughout the process so you are happy with the finished piece of art.

Sam is happy to work with corporate clients to produce bespoke stationary, cards and other gifts.
