Commission Open 2021

A large, dynamic charcoal painting portrait of my own horse, Remi. Created to capture his energy and sweet expression, keeping him close to me in my own home.

I've been very low key with taking commissions for a few years now, in no small part because I sustained a head injury that shook my senses.

Instead I have allowed myself to explore and experiment with different media, subjects and styles. What a wonderful journey it has been as I discover what visual language works for me at this time. I’ve grown and expanded in many ways creatively.

I've discovered a fresh vision in returning to monochrome (black and white) or a  limited, muted palette. I'm finding deep satisfaction in the interplay of intentional brush marks and the loose, raw qualities of drips, spatters and puddles of paint or water. 

I'm finding my voice in the midst of a little chaos, where dynamic, expressive portraits and landscapes are born. 

And I find myself ready to offer them to you, dear friends and collectors. Paintings created to light and warm your heart, bringing to life a memory or a passion, celebrating your own story. 

The process for ordering one of these  unique commissioned paintings is quite simple. A few photos or a a cell phone video should be sufficient for reference material.

Commission options also include small sculptured pendants in fine silver that become legacies of love in wearable art, and sculptures in air dry media. I'll offer more information on these in the next blog post. 

If you'd like more information please look at my Commissions page HERE. 

Or feel free to email me at Hello@reneefukumoto.com. I would love to hear from you!.
