The clients, who live in Williamsburg, Virginia, contacted me about commissioning a palette knife painting. They wanted a bright sunset painting like the sunsets they saw almost every night on the James River.

It was decided that the commission would draw its color inspiration from the home decor as well as the large abstract painting in the client’s adjoining room. The client wanted to base the commission’s composition on a painting Carson has already completed.

After several phone calls and a detailed email correspondence, Carson prepared a sketch and was ready to move forward with the painting.
