COMMISSIONED ART by BRENDA SIMON

Commission art by Brenda to create a special custom piece of your loved one, memorable occasion or add vision to your poetry and journals.

An old ancestral photo can become a work of art to grace your walls for generations.

Here are several examples of the reference photo(s) and the final commissioned art.

Commissioned art is a relationship developed between me and my client. It requires a flexibility on my part to respond to your needs and requests. I arrange for my clients to see the work as it progresses and maintain an open dialogue
through to completion.

If you are looking to create a memorable piece of wall art from your own photos Brenda creates photo montages.

Digital Painting is an affordable alternative to Brenda's elegant oil and watercolor portraits.

For holidays, birthdays and anniversaries create a unique gift.

"The Walk" watercolor 8" X 10"	These 2 commissioned watercolors (right & left) were renderings based on this photo.	"The Walk2" watercolor 8" X 10"
charcoal pencil and watercolor mixed media 18" X 24" for Lynda Heinz	Lynda writes: "A Beautiful Thing. Brenda Simon is not only a talented singer, song writer, but her art work is breathtaking. It touches your heart. Needless to say, I was thrilled and honored when Brenda agreed to do a portrait for me as a surprise for my husband. It would be from a photo of the both of us. Knowing her art work, I left all the details and expertise to her, and without a doubt, she produced the most beautiful piece of art using charcoal and watercolors. She captured more than I ever expected. She captured a "feeling", love, and tenderness. She saw beyond a 3 x 5 photo and put it all on canvas. It takes a great eye and a loving hand to see beyond the surface. To be able to capture emotions is a true artist and Brenda has the gift and talent to do all that. She is totally amazing! Was my husband surprised? Definitely. We both fell in love with it. It definitely takes our breath away. Thank You Brenda."	3" X 5" Reference photo for commissioned portrait
