Where to Find Artist to Recreate Old Painting? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy Chicago

I'M AN ARTIST!

Hi! I'm an reader here, and I'm also an artist... perhaps you could commission me to re-create your painting?

I'm a Canadian artist. I live in Ottawa Ontario. I took Art and Art history at the university of Toronto and have plenty of experience studying artworks. I have replicated many artworks for study as well as for sale. Right now I'm working on my second commission for a local church. I recreated Caravaggio's "Annunciation" as my first painting. Here is a link to that painting: A picture of my version is the following photo in the album.

Here's an example of my work, please look in my photo album. (A copy of one of monet's poppy fields)

I love Siena. I was lucky to live there for a month.

I actually make paintings of rusted steel. I bend the edges of the steel to make the shape of a gallery style canvas, and paint organic shapes onto the steel using acrylics. Usually I let the rust show me what to paint, and I enhance the markings already there.

paint it a nice SHINY white.

I like how simple it looks, I dont think you should do anything too fussy with it.

I'm probably going to be punished for this, but I think its kind of ugly.

I suggest you repaint with a colour you actually like. Next time, choose a green with blue undertones instead.

Red is the opposite (complimentary) colour of green on
the colour wheel. Ditch that theory.

I really like the sheer curtains you have up right now. Maybe use white curtains with the sheers on top? It looks very fresh and summery as is.

Where is that gray and yellow bedspread from?

I want it! It's very elegant.

Enthralled? Really? I hate to always come off as a jerk, but the over-the-top journalism on everyday objects makes me think its all just a bunch of advertisement.

You might use them for about 2 seconds until everyone gets food on their plates. They're pretty more than anything.

I like how that large painting is placed lower than usual in the bedroom photo. I think their "bedside table" might be a little bit too crooked to hold anything.

Hah. Very lovely interiors... but the baguette photo reminds me of a few Salvador Dali paintings of random baguettes.
I am jealous that almost everything is covered in trim and moulding.

Does anyone know where that popular white light comes from in the fourth picture?

I like the organic structures that are shown here. I think kids would love to help put them together, and they are imaginative enough to make it their own space.

It reminds me of when I made little teepee and fort structures with my little cousins in the forest at our cottage.

This article did suggest that kids should get involved in the planning of the space.

Get off your high horse.

no thanks. Those curtains belong in a kid's room to match the racecar bed.
