Where to start looking
David Roberts treats an interior like a still life with people in it. Interior of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice was painted indoors, with the windows doing most of the work, and every object is where it would actually be.
Interior of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the light is graded across the room from a single source, so the space never flattens into a backdrop.

What makes it hard to copy
The subject is the fall of light across a room, and a press can only give you light and dark. Graded by hand through ten steps, the space opens up.

| 16 × 12 in | 40 × 30 cm | A shelf, a small wall, a gallery group |
| 64 × 48 in | 163 × 122 cm | Villa scale, lobby, hospitality wall |
| 48 × 36 in | 122 × 91 cm | Large living room, stairwell, loft |
| 40 × 30 in | 102 × 76 cm | Living room focal wall, above a sofa |

It sits naturally on a stairwell wall, where the depth opens the space up. The painter works freehand on a blank canvas, so we keep the proportions of the original rather than cropping to fit — an unusually wide or tall composition stays honest at any size.
The practical questions
How do I know what size will look right?
Measure the wall and send a photograph. We will say honestly if the canvas you have in mind is too small for the space, which is the most common mistake.
Is there a rush option?
It depends on the canvas and what else is in the studio. Ask on WhatsApp with your size and we will tell you straight what is possible.
Do you work from my own photograph?
Yes, though that is a separate service. This page is for a hand-painted version of {title}; for a photo-to-painting commission, send the image on WhatsApp.
