Commissions

Commissions

I accept commissions upon review for any custom paintings throughout the year. These focus on but are not limited to, Landscape, Abstract, Abstract Landscape, Abstract Expressionism, Collage and Impressionist Painting. Your own personalized painting can also be reproduced by me from a photograph you have taken that has great sentimental value to you. 
For best results make sure photos are taken at the subject's eye-level and as sharp as possible. Anything under 3" in photo size will diminish the final quality of the commission. The more information I have to work with, the more lifelike the end result. All photos are returned upon completion.

I will be happy to speak with you and get started on sketches and colour studies of your custom piece! It is very exciting to work through the creative process, especially when merging ideas you may have in regard to subject matter, colour, style and so on!

Please let me know what you would like me to create for you. Please send me a picture(s) and the approximate size, based on where you are planning to hang the finished painting. Based on the subject matter and size of artwork, I will be able to let you know how much your one of a kind commissioned painting will be. 
Thank you! 
Nora

PROJECT: "Glistening Sunrise"

Medium: Original Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas 

Size: 24"W x 24"H x 1.5"D

Year: 2017


The Original Photograph was in rectangular in shape so I had to stretch the image for the desired square canvas that was requested by my client. On the second photo below you can see how I added the Gesso carefully and conscientiously knowing that the trees will be playing an important role on the composition of this oil painting. I have started the background by applying the different shades of blue and at the end I have painted the trees with the addition of highlights.



PROJECT:  "Drop in the Water"

Medium: Original Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas with extra layers of varnish.

Size: 48"W x 24"H x 1.5"D

Year: 2017


This was a very difficult large project (in size of 48"W x 24"H) because I had to use the shades of blue, white and black only .

It was crucial for me to mix the colours to the perfect values as hues and tints that was represented in the original image.


PROJECT: "Finding The Path"

Medium: Original Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Size: 24"W x 36"H x 1.5"D

Year: 2017


The original picture was taken at Devils Tower National Monument, in Wyoming USA where my Client's son, Bradley was meditating.

To capture all the details in the mountain was excruciating a long process. There are so many areas you could zoom in and enjoy the precision from the forest to the grass and most importantly to the shadows and highlights on the skin tone. This project was fantastic!


This painting was challenging in terms of details and colour. I have learned a great deal of how to mix colours and how to create depth and highlights especially in the grass land area and in the subject's hair.

Thank you Kim for putting your trust and faith in me!

I am so happy for you to have this painting adorning your home!

"I commissioned Nora to paint a canvas (from a picture) of my son at Devil's Tower in Wyoming.

It was so much fun to collaborate on this stunning painting!


Client's Testimony


"I asked Nora to create a commissioned work of art for me using 3 specific colours and a rather vague theme.

The result was a beautiful piece of art that is now the focal point of my living room.

Nora is very easy to collaborate with because she is approachable, flexible and extremely talented."

I truly enjoyed working on this commissioned painting!

I just love the movement in the clouds and waves.



Client's Testimony


"I hired Nora for a commissioned painting of the sunrise over water for my office. Nora was an absolute delight to work with, checking in every step of the way to ensure I was happy with the progress of the piece. My painting turned out beautifully, and is often complimented by clients and colleagues. Nora’s work is intricate, delicate, and imaginative and my painting is no exception. I will be hiring Nora again to paint a landscape for my living room. Thank you Nora!"

PROJECT:  "Street Scene St. John's Newfoundland"

Size: 48"W x 24"H x 1.5"D

Medium: Original Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas


Client's Testimony


"I think a good artist is one capable of creating with their work many different emotions that will resonate within you.

With her unique style and the diversity of subject matter she chooses, I really believe that Nora is an artist of such caliber, making this a reality for those viewing her work.

The different pieces of her art that my wife and I have acquired over the last few years that we have on display in our home readily attest to this fact. Nora's ability, creativity and obvious commitment as a serious artist offer great potential for many more exciting reveals in the future.

Can't wait to see what's next."

PROJECT:  "The Niagara Escarpment"



"In Memory of Our Loved One"

Size: 24"W x 18"H x 1.5"D

Medium: Original Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas


This was a very special and beautiful project! My client asked me to create a painting of a memory of their heart-warming ceremony of her fiancé's father's funeral. Part of the ceremony was to visit the Niagara Escarpment, where my client and her fiancé grew up, and had the grandchildren release blue balloons. My client and I worked in close relations to capture that very special moment. She has gifted my painting to her fiancé at their wedding where the presence of their beloved was sensed and cherished.

  • Client's Testimony


    "I contacted Nora to reproduce on canvas a very special memory for my husband of our children and their cousins from a family gathering at the Niagara Escarpment. This was a very special request to me as it was my wedding present to my husband and a significant memory for him. I sent Nora a photo of the Niagara Escarpment and various photos of family members. Through the photos and our conversations, Nora was able to capture both the beauty of the escarpment and the mannerisms of our family members with absolute authenticity. My husband and I were incredibly touched by the result and treasure our painting daily. The memory of presenting this gift to him still brings me to tears as I write this. Thank you, Nora! I can, with utter confidence recommend Nora Harvey as a sensitive, passionate artist who can beautifully reproduce your memories on canvas."
