to commission a painting
Each Abundare artwork is one-of-a-kind. When we create a piece of Celtic scriptural art together, that painting will be unique and deeply personal, created especially for whoever it is intended for.
Many of us have a favourite verse or prayer which resonates deeply with us: perhaps it is a verse that changed our life or carried us through the years.
More than being just a painting, this piece of living art - for we know that Word of God is alive and powerful - will give them something wonderful and uplifting to reflect upon, day by day. It will be something to encourage them, something to inspire them.
If this idea resonates with you as a wonderful way to show someone how much they are appreciated, the steps below outline the process of commissioning such a artwork.

if, after our conversation, you feel that you wish to commission an artwork, we will then proceed to the Commissioning Phase

At home I invite Ruach haKodesh (the Holy Spirit) to work with me in accordance with Proverbs 3:5,6 - 'in all things acknowledge him and he will direct your paths' before putting pencil, pen and ink to paper to begin the process
Commission

We finalise details:
-
style, size; frame

time to celebrate!
