Grandpa’s Chair. Oil and pastel on canvas. 50cm x 50cm

“You have captured our garden beautifully and given us a perfect memory of our Grandpa over lockdown. Thank you - we absolutely love it!”

Capture the beauty of your favourite garden or landscape with a custom commission by professional artist Helen Alice Johnson. Whether it’s a cherished family garden or a special place that holds sentimental value, Helen will work with you to create a one-of-a-kind piece of art that reflects the essence of your chosen landscape.

“When working on a commission I spend as much time with you as you can give, and as much time in your chosen landscape as possible. Its really important to me that your painting reflects not just the physical aspects of the space, but the emotions and memories that your special place evokes. I enjoy hearing stories and capturing the essence of what your chosen landscape is about.

In this particular painting, the collector was moving and wanted a memory of their garden that they could take with them. During lockdown, their grandparents had been to stay for a long period, and during that particularly hot springtime of 2020, ‘Grandpa’ sat on the garden chair and watched them as they gardened in the sunshine.

Hens wander elusively around this garden, and you can just glimpse one under the tree on the right hand side of the painting.

If you would like to explore the idea of a commission, I’d love to hear from you.”

How a Custom Art Commission Works

  1. Initial Consultation: Discuss your vision, share photos or visit the location to gather details about the landscape.

  2. Planning: Helen will create sketches and concepts based on your ideas, ensuring the final piece reflects your vision.

  3. Creation: Once the plan is approved, Helen will begin creating your bespoke artwork. You’ll receive updates throughout the process.

  4. Delivery: The final painting will then be delivered to your chosen location.
