What is actually happening
Virgin and Child and Child "label QS:Len treats a sacred subject as something happening next door. Light is doing the theological work here: it arrives from one direction and decides who matters.
Virgin and Child and Child "label QS:Len. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the dark passages keep their colour instead of going black, so the light has something to work against.

Why paint it by hand
Printed, the shadows go to mud and the figures detach from the space they are standing in. A painter keeps the darkness transparent, which is what holds the room together.
Every canvas is painted to order, so the quote follows your size, frame and destination rather than a fixed list. Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we reply with an exact figure, usually within the hour. You deal directly with the studio that paints it — no reseller layer.
Choosing a size
Every canvas is painted to order, so the size is yours to choose. These are the ones people ask for most:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |
| 30 × 24 in | 76 × 61 cm | Dining room, bedroom feature wall |
| 24 × 20 in | 60 × 50 cm | Study, home office, above a desk |
| 20 × 16 in | 50 × 40 cm | Bedroom, hallway, above a console |
| 16 × 12 in | 40 × 30 cm | A shelf, a small wall, a gallery group |
These are the usual requests, not a limit. Anything in between, or bigger, is just a matter of asking. We quote the canvas first; framing and shipping come after. Import duties and taxes fall to the buyer (DAP).
Send the wall, the size and whether you want a frame, and we will quote.

In practice it works best in a hallway where it can be approached. Because each canvas is built from scratch, we follow the original's proportions instead of trimming the image to a standard shape. Panoramic and vertical formats are both fine.
The practical questions
How long does a hand-painted version take?
Roughly two to four weeks of studio time, depending mostly on size and how much impasto the surface carries, then several more days for the oil to set before we photograph, pack and send.
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.
How close will it be to the original?
The composition, colour and drawing follow the original closely; the brushwork carries the painter's own hand. The painter works freehand on a blank canvas, following the same logic as the original rather than copying a photograph.
