In this completed oil painting commission, Pat Cross composed a couple seated on their back deck to spectate the view of the sky ablaze with color over the forested landscape of their South Carolina mountain home. The couple reached out to Pat Cross after seeing her art in an exhibit and felt inspired to own one of their own, but with the personal touch of their own paradise. Commissions present unique challenges well beyond the typical painting process making them more of a service than a commodity. Pat Cross finds that process of collaborating with a client very rewarding.
“Though, it feels bittersweet when I ship a completed commission,” says Pat Cross, explaining, “Even though I’m glad my client expresses such pleasure with the painting, I’ll miss seeing it in my art studio.”
