Commissions
Commissioned work with Casey Smith is approached as a true studio painting—conceived, developed, and executed with the same care, discipline, and intention as his original work.
These are not quick likenesses or formula-based commissions. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind oil painting, built slowly and thoughtfully, with every detail considered and carefully executed. The focus is on craft, structure, and presence—creating a work that stands on its own as art.
An Artistic Approach
A commission by Casey Smith is for those seeking something more than a standard representation. The goal is not simply to depict a subject, but to interpret it through paint—honoring form, rhythm, and character in a way that reflects both the subject and the artist’s voice.
Drawing on decades of experience in painting, teaching, and music, Casey brings a refined understanding of composition, movement, and balance to each commissioned work. The result is a painting shaped by observation, intuition, and sustained attention to process.
What Casey Accepts
A limited number of commissions are accepted each year, including:
- Portraits of individuals, couples, or families
- Animal and pet portraits
- Place-based or memory-driven works
- Narrative or symbolic compositions
The Process
EACH COMMISSION FOLLOWS A THOUGHTFUL, COLLABORATIVE PROCESS:
- Initial conversation to discuss subject, intent, scale, and timing
- Reference review to establish direction and tone
- Studio development using a layered oil painting process
- Careful refinement and finishing, including surface work and final varnish
Because of the level of care involved, commissions are not rushed and are scheduled according to current studio availability.
What to Expect
When commissioning a painting, clients can expect:
- An original, one-of-a-kind oil painting
- Archival materials and professional craftsmanship
- Clear communication throughout the process
- A timeline that respects the integrity of the work
Each painting is created to last—both materially and artistically.
