I’ve been lucky enought to pick up some commissions for paintings recently. So far they have all been landscape commissions (as opposed to portrait commission which are my other favourites). Some artists are notoriously reluctant to agree to commissions, sometimes for quite snobbish reasons (not wanting to pollute the purity of their art). On the contrary, I find commissions to be a welcome relief from the ‘what shall I do today’ question. A commission gives focus, purpose and usually a time limit to the day - all useful drivers for a wooly headed artist!

I am the person who commissioned this picture. I have to say the finished item is so much better than shown here. I must say that David Pott is a fine artist, I also have another of his works, and he is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Well done and many thanks.
