To complement the summer show at Dungeness Open Studios artist Paddy Hamilton is showing several commissioned works of houses and their environs. Commissions are now being invited from those who have decided not to continue to climb the property ladder for the time being, to enjoy the home they own and to celebrate their house and its surroundings.
A commission needn't be an expensive gamble and, even if you have no experience of commissioning artwork, this is an ideal opportunity to own a painting by an accomplished artist of a subject close to the heart. The process has been made easy and accessible with a sliding scale of prices, starting at £80 for a small 'pocket painting'.
Artist Paddy Hamiliton said "To commission a painting of your home there is no need to to be too specific in the initial stage because the idea for the painting will develop during the initial conversation. A common admiration for an artist's work can often be the pivotal inspiration".
He continued, "After that I generally make a 'finished' drawing and communicate with the client by email or online. The ensuing painting can be seen at every stage on our website www.paintings-for-sale.net so that everyone involved feels in constant touch with the commission, the painting process and myself at the studio"
The Studios are open most days from 10am until 6pm.

All paintings, prints and drawings on show are made to a standard finish in a third studio to the right of Studio 2 and completed over a short period of time in early morning sessions in these two buildings.
Studio 1 is used as a 'clean space' for colouring and assessing relief prints.
Studio 2 hosts part-time residencies for invited visiting artists and is used as a showing space for new projects or as a viewing space for individual works seen online.
As soon as paintings, prints or drawings are more or less completed they are previewed here prior to purchase or further exhibition.
We do not consider these spaces to be a 'gallery' as such, more a public extension of a continuing working practice enabling the preview of work in a bright, clean and organised environment.
