A Commission Steeped in Family Tradition

My favorite commissions are ones that commemorate a special place, a treasured memory. My goal is to breathe life into that memory, creating an impressionistic painting that will become an heirloom work of art. Here is the story about a recent commission I did of Steinen, Germany: "As a teenager, my family was stationed overseas in Europe. We were able to trace our roots back to a small village in Switzerland named Steinen. We located our family crest carved into the posts of the town’s courthouse indicating our ancestors as one of the original founding families of the village many centuries earlier. Fifty years later, my wife and I traveled back to Switzerland in order for her to also experience the area and its intrinsic beauty. "Photographs just didn’t seem adequate to memorialize the scene of this small, quaint Swiss settlement. We decided to send numerous photos of Steinen to Erin Hanson, whose artwork we own and whose style we admire. Erin undertook a commission and drafted a small painted sketch for our review. She actively solicited our feedback and suggestions regarding content and landform accuracy since she was painting from a compilation of images. Following our approval, she proceeded in her unique style to convey this beautiful setting to canvas with the village, lake, landmarks and meadows, and the majestic Alps as the backdrop. It is a special piece of artwork that has so much meaning to our family and which will be an heirloom for future generations". - S. & J.A.
