Custom Still Life Paintings

Still Life Paintings Options

Most people picture one of two things when they hear still life. A dark old painting of grapes and a wine glass, or a bright bowl of lemons in a farmhouse kitchen. Both count, and so does everything in between.

Fruit and food

Lemons, figs, grapes, bread, olives and cheese on a board. Easy to live with in a kitchen. Lemon branches and olive groves turn up in our Mediterranean paintings too, if you want the whole landscape instead of one table.

Flowers in a vase

Peonies, sunflowers, roses, tulips, a loose garden bunch. The biggest part of our catalog.

Wine and the table

Bottles, a decanter, glasses and a folded cloth. Popular in dining rooms and wine bars.

Objects that mean something

Your grandmother’s teapot, blue and white china, your wedding bouquet, painted from your photos.

Sizes	60 standard sizes from 24 by 20 inches up to 80 by 60 inches, plus sets of two and three, or your own measurements at the same rate
Medium	Acrylic on canvas by default. Oil on request, which takes longer because it dries slowly between layers.

Before it ships	We photograph every finished canvas and send you the photos. Nothing leaves until you approve.

Paint the objects you already own

This is the part almost nobody offers at large size. Send us photos of the real thing and we paint it. The teapot, the copper pan, the pears from your garden, the bouquet you dried after your wedding.

You do not need good photography. Put the objects near a window in daylight against a plain wall, then shoot one photo straight on and one from the side so we can read the shape. We combine several photos into one composition all the time, so objects that live in different rooms can share a canvas.

For food photography, product labels or another still life, share the source and intended display use. Flag permission or credit requirements before the arrangement is adapted. Related guidance: photo turned into a painting.

Classical and moody, or modern and quiet

Still life splits into two looks, and the choice changes the whole room.

The classical Dutch look. A dark, almost black ground, a glowing pile of flowers or fruit, deep reds and golds. It suits a dining room with a deep wall color and dark wood, and it reads rich at night, which is why restaurants like it.

The modern minimal look. One vase, two pears, a lot of empty space, soft light, a pale ground. It suits a bright kitchen or a banquette wall where a busy painting would feel loud.

Any subject can go either way. Our still life collection is small and focused, while the larger floral and botanical collection holds most of our vase arrangements.

Matching your cabinets, tile or chair fabric

Still lifes hang close to cabinets, tile and chair fabric, so color matters more here than it does over a sofa. Send a paint code, a photo of the cabinet door, a tile, or a scrap of your chair fabric. Our painters mix the color, we photograph the mixed paint in daylight, and we send you that photo for approval before painting starts. If it is not right, we mix again.

A matched series for restaurants, cafes and wine bars

A run of still lifes along one wall is what makes a dining room look designed. A matched series means the same hand, the same palette and the same canvas depth in every piece, with a different arrangement in each. One painter carries a canvas from start to finish, and you can read how we paint if you want the order of the steps.

Our page for restaurants, bars and cafes covers repeat orders and packing.

Still Life Paintings Sizes & Placement

Still lifes usually hang lower than other art, because the people looking at them are sitting down.

• Over a dining table. Keep the canvas a little narrower than the table, leave clear wall on each side, and hang it low enough that a seated guest sees all of it.
• Over a sideboard. Narrower than the furniture. A horizontal canvas suits a long sideboard, and so does a set of two or three in a row.
• A banquette wall. Long and low. One wide canvas or a set beats a single square.
• A kitchen nook. Usually the smaller end of our range, because cabinets and windows break up the wall.

Single canvases larger than 80 by 60 inches, up to 5 meters (about 16 feet), are quoted case by case. Send a photo of the wall with the furniture in it and rough measurements, and we will tell you what size we would paint.

Acrylic or oil, and how it ships

We paint in acrylic unless you ask for oil. Acrylic dries fast, holds bright color and lets us build texture quickly. Oil is available on request, and because oil dries slowly between layers, oil pieces take longer. Heavy texture and pieces 36 by 48 inches and larger sit at the top of their production band for the same reason.

Heavy texture ships stretched or framed, because rolling thick impasto is not a good idea. Freight is quoted at cost. For most countries you can choose duties included in the delivery quote (DDP), or pay the duties yourself on arrival. Express by FedEx or DHL takes 5 to 10 business days, and sea freight takes 25 to 40 days, which suits a large venue order planned in advance.
