Any artists here?
« on: April 25, 2016, 02:53:20 PM »
I'm looking to commision an oil painting. By far, the silliest and most bizarre of oil paintings, but I have no idea where to go with it. Is anyone here an artist interested in making a couple hundred bucks?

You might do well going to a local arts and crafts event and talking to artists there.

what subject matter do you have in mind?  My daughter is the artist in my family.....and I have no idea where she got it from.
The milkman, maybe?
Does it have to be an oil based painting? Or can it be in other media?

Do they commission paintings in the navy by smashing a bottle of champagne against it?

I was looking for oil, just to add to the absurdity of it all. I'm looking for a painting, in the style of old military paintings. Picture your typical "General with his sword out, mounted on a horse" with some dramatic battle in the background. Only, instead of a revolutionary war general, it's a pilot, complete with G-suit, survival vest, mask and helmet on, and instead of just a horse, it's pegasus. But he's still dramatically pointing a sword.

If she wants to take a crack at it, and another media works better, I'm open to ideas, and flexible on price.
