Reading the canvas
Everything is arranged to lead the eye along a diagonal that never reaches the corner.
Foreground, middle ground, distance: three clear planes, each with its own handling.
Undated, and catalogued simply as a work by Tom Thomson.

What a print loses
Landscape is the first thing printing ruins. The press gives you the same green at fifty metres as at five, and the whole point of the picture was that they are not the same green. A painter rebuilds that difference pass by pass, and the depth returns. It is subtle, and it is the whole thing.
There is no price list because there is no standard job. Tell us the wall, the size and whether you want it framed, and we will come back with a figure. No resellers, no drop-shipper. The painter's studio handles your commission from first message to final crate.
Sizing it
You are choosing the canvas, not picking from stock. These are the sizes that come up most often:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |
Custom sizes are welcome — if your wall needs something between these, or larger, say so and we will quote it. Framing and shipping are quoted separately. Duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility (DAP).
Give us your size and framing preference and you will have a quote shortly.

This one reads well above a console in an entry. Nothing gets cropped to suit a standard canvas. We build to the original's dimensions and scale from there.
Questions worth asking
Why not just print it?
A print flattens the surface into a poster: the distance collapses and the highlights turn to grey. Paint keeps the depth and the texture the original was built from.
Does it come with a certificate of authenticity?
No, and we would be wary of anyone who issues one for a public-domain reproduction. What you receive is a hand-painted canvas and photographs of it before it ships.
What happens after I message you?
You tell us the painting, size and whether you want a frame. We quote, a painter starts on your canvas, and you get photographs before it ships.
