Commission paintings

If you would like to discuss having a work of art created for your wall or as a gift, please send me an email with any questions or requests. If you want to talk, include your phone number and times to call. I can use any of your photographs. I can paint everything from floral to a landscape or your neighborhood. Commissioning a personalized piece of art is somewhat more involved process than buying a personalized product, but I have tried to simplify the process here.
     Choose the artwork size you require (8x10, 9x12,  11x14, 12x16, 16x20, 18x24, or custom) and decide whether subject it could be.
   Select at least 2 photographs of your subject for reference and indicate whether they need to be returned to you along with the completed artwork.      Email your selected photographs to me at contact@juliaherrero.com with any custom requests you may have, along with your Name and Mailing Address.
   I will reply with a quote and an estimated time of completion. It usually takes about 3-4 month to complete a painting, and delivery (after payment is received) is typically another 1-2 weeks, although the process time and delivery date may vary from original estimates - I will keep you informed and provide a realistic waiting time. I will require half of payment to start with your project.
Your input is paramount, but please understand that as an artist that I will also use my creativity and interpretation to develop a truly original and artistic work for you. I never paint a copy of photograph. I only used it as a base and reference.
   Background - I often view the background as support for the subject, and may recompose the background, dull it, blur it, completely change it or remove parts of it altogether to create a stronger piece of art.
   When your artwork is completed and ready for delivery, you will receive a photograph of the finished work.  You can complete the purchasing process online using PayPal  or  send a check with the relevant amount to the address that will be provided.
   Your painting will be shipped as soon as payment is received.
Thank you for contacting us. We will get back to you as soon as possible

A Bonaventure cemetery. Savannah. Georgia.

Original oil on canvas 24"x36" impressionistic style  commissioned painting.
Julia was able to capture the beauty and serenity of one of my most favorite places I love to visit in Bonaventure.  Every time I look at this painting I feel like I am there. She was able to capture the beauty of the azaleas and the live oaks draped with Spanish moss.   What is more impressive is her ability to paint light!  You can actually see sunlight breaking through the foliage amidst the shadows on the ground.  Amazing talent!
Thank you Julia for allowing me to have a bit of Savannah in my home.

Winter fireplace.

Original oil on canvas 20"x24" commissioned painting of winter backyard scenery.

Julia recreated the magic of one of my favorite memories in this painting. My father was visiting from south Texas when we had an unexpected December snowstorm in Grant park! Julia has a rare talent for capturing the subtle nuances of light--the cool purplish-pink of a winter sky, the pale shimmer of a fading sun on all it touches.  Every time I look at this painting I am brought back to that day--the dampened sound of crackling ice and the cool sensation of a snowy breeze on my face. Julia has truly created something beautiful and like the memory it brings to life, this painting will always be special to me. Thank you Julia!
