A closer look
You notice the brushwork before you notice the composition.
Thick paint in the light, thin and scrubbed in the dark: a simple rule, executed consistently.
No date is firmly attached to it; it is catalogued under Winslow Homer.

What makes it hard to copy
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.
Because we paint to order, the honest answer is: it depends on size, texture and frame. Send the three on WhatsApp and we will quote properly. No resellers, no drop-shipper. The painter's studio handles your commission from first message to final crate.
Choosing a size
You are choosing the canvas, not picking from stock. These are the sizes that come up most often:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 30 × 12 in | 76 × 30 cm | A long wall that would swallow a normal canvas |
| 36 × 14 in | 91 × 36 cm | Above a wide sideboard or a long console |
| 40 × 16 in | 102 × 41 cm | Stairwell, or a hallway with room to run |
| 48 × 18 in | 122 × 46 cm | Panoramic wall, open-plan living area |
Every size here is a guide. Tell us what you need and we will build the canvas to suit. 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 on a stairwell wall, where the depth opens the space up. Nothing gets cropped to suit a standard canvas. We build to the original's dimensions and scale from there.
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 The North Woods; for a photo-to-painting commission, send the image on WhatsApp.
