The Process
- You will tell me what you are looking for both in content and size. If we are both confident that our vision is in line with each other, we will proceed with a contract.
- I collect half of the purchase price from you.
- You provide any color charts or items with colors in them that you want me to include in the painting. I do a work up sketch and present colors for your approval.
- You will receive updates and photos of the painting as it develops. I gladly accept and want input from you right up until the final approval.
- After your approval, I will ask for the final payment on your painting. If you need the painting shipped to you, my shipper will pack, insure and ship your painting to your doorstep.
36"x36 Commissioned Painting: "Symphonic Splendor"
The following comments are from the patron who commissioned, "Symphonic Splendor":
"As first time art commissioners, we were a bit nervous initially to approach an artist and start the process. However, after the first conversation with Jill, we immediately felt at ease. She let us know that she would be open to color choices and input from us throughout the whole process, and she meant it. We had several meetings and communications with Jill to discuss the project overall, choose colors, review the sketches, and of course view the final product. There was never a point in the process where we didn’t know what was going to happen next. In the end, we couldn’t be happier with the piece. She took our vague descriptions and varied color palette and turned it into a beautiful work of art. We can’t wait to hang it as the centerpiece in our brand new home!". Mandy and Adam C. - Atlanta, GA
Mandy found me through the internet and gave me a call. I invited Mandy and Adam to my studio to see my work in person and to discuss their vision for a commission. After they decided to move forward, Mandy emailed me a color chart reflecting her desired colors.
I worked up a color chart with my acrylic paints and invited Mandy to my studio to see them in person. Mandy brought me a pottery piece with the colors she wanted in the painting.
I submitted three drawings to them via email and they chose this one.
Since this was to be such an important design piece for their home, I painted a 18”x18” version of what the final piece would look like. Both Mandy and Adam came to my studio to see it. They absolutely loved it and I was able to start the final 36”x36” painting. When the painting was completed, both Adam and Mandy came to my studio to give the final approval. I was delighted they loved it!

Commissioned Painting "Absolute Joy" 36"x36"
“We began to work with Jill on a commission to put in the mountain house that we are building, never dreaming that we would end up with a painting that invokes such Absolute Joy! We talked with Jill several times to convey what we feel when we visit the property we purchased, and Patron comment:she understood what we wanted very early in the process. Her ability to translate our words into emotion was unfathomable and resulted in a masterpiece that we will enjoy for many years. As we picked up the painting, I swear I saw a tear as she reluctantly gave up a piece of her heart.” Ken Manford & Jeffrey Roach - Decatur GA / Hayesville NC
Ken and Jeffrey have been clients of mine since Ken walked into my gallery five years ago and purchased a 36”x36” original aspen tree painting as a gift for Jeffrey. Last year, they commissioned a second aspen tree painting for their new home in Decatur. In December, Ken emailed me about a vacation home they were building on top of a mountain with spectacular views. They wanted to commission me to paint something that would be the focal point inside their home. I sent them a photo that my sister took in the nearby mountains of a river below. Since they had such wonderful views on top of the mountain, I thought they might want a painting to remind them of the beauty below. They loved the idea and photo, and told me to proceed. I feel honored they have such trust in me to send a check without ever speaking to me on the phone. This was all done through email correspondence.
I painted a small painting to work out my colors. I sent a photo of the painting to Ken and got his feedback. He told me that he wanted this painting to be about the water and that he wanted the painting to be rich with color. They only wanted yellow to be used as an accent color on the main tree. Below is a sampling of the photos that I sent to Ken for feedback.
I sent this to my client to show him the beginning of his painting.
This is an example of a photo I would have sent to show the hues in the water and the background. Ken wanted deeper greens in the woods and I was happy to accommodate!
This was one of the final photos I sent before laying in the deepest tones. The finished painting can be viewed on top.
Jill meets with clients in her studio by appointment only. If you'd like to commission a painting, or see her artwork in person, please fill out the contact form below. Thanks!
