I like the fact that I try to be flexible in what the customer is looking for in a piece of original artwork. For instance, if a customer is looking for something to go with kitchen decor I can suggest doing special trivets, or wall plagues to go with a set theme, or if someone is wanting special gift boxes to put the perfect gift in I can customize a hand-painted gift box just for the occasion. I have done Shabbat Candles Sets w/a matching matchbox, and Biblically Themed Wood and Stone Art, as well as different styles of Canvas Art to meet my valued customers desires and needs...from contemporary to country.
Currently, I am working on a Sea Scape painting that will be up for sale very soon, and when it is done I will post pics of it....which reminds me....if there is anything that any of you might see that is available or might have an idea of something that you have in mind for an Art project .....don't hesitate to comment and contact me through e-mail, or call the business # , I will work with you to get what your looking for, done to the closest specifications and possible.
This last May and June was very busy for me, and I am so glad to have to have orders coming in at a steady pace. I was commissioned to do 3 Custom Bat Mitzvah Keep-Sake paintings, and 1 Bar Mtizvah Custom Keep-Sake Painting. By the time I had finished the last one of that order I knew I have found my "Nitch"!!! The feedback that I received from those families and friends were priceless!!
After extensive interviewing of the life, hobbies, likes, possible career paths, and aspirations of that Special Bar or Bat Mitzvah I custom design the "one-of-kind" piece and paint the masterpiece w/acrylics on acrylic paper, add special applica's and accents, and once it is fully completed, I seal it with a special spray sealant. After letting it dry thoroughly, I then frame it and it is then ready for pick up and delivery, or for me to mail it!!! It is that simple!!!!
I will continue to do the other types of Artwork here and there, but the Custom Keep-Sake Paintings will be my Specialty!!! I am openly up the possibilities to include Custom Wedding, Graduation, and Birth Keep-Sake Paintings as well......just waiting for some one to want to place an order...so place your orders today!!!
Here is some pics of the Custom Hand-Painted Bar/Bat Mitzvah Keep-Sakes orders that I have recently completed ...I hope you enjoy them!!!
