Custom, Original Oil Paintings by Beth Carson

I strive to create original artwork that makes you stop in the midst of a busy day and think, "Ahhh I love that!"

MARGO

FOR KATE C.

When you hang a piece of original art I hope you feel the joy I had while creating it just for you!

When I am inspired to create an original painting I strive to tell a story on canvas. Maybe it's your babies first smile, the family dog, that Saturday morning donut, or a fresh flower just picked from the garden.

I use high quality gallery wrapped canvas or board and artists' quality oil paints. If you choose to commission a personal piece of art, I work from well lit, clear photographs. It is a simple process culminating in a piece of art that you will treasure for years.

How it works

STEP 1 // SUBMIT YOUR PHOTO

I need 3-5 CLEAR photos taken in GOOD, bright light. The photos should only have the subject you want painted and in a pose you like. Once I receive the photos, I will narrow down which photos I think will work best for the size canvas you’ve chosen and most likely crop the photo for better composition. I will then confirm all choices with you before moving forward.

STEP 2 // PAY YOUR DEPOSIT

I require a 50% deposit before beginning any commissioned piece.

STEP 3 // RECEIVE YOUR ARTWORK

You will receive your original artwork in 4-6 weeks! I love to see where you choose to hang your one of a kind piece so please send a photo!
