Painting process | Summer Sunset in the Vineyards, Adelaide Hills

All of my original paintings and commissions come with more than just the artwork itself. They arrive ready to hang, with premium custom framing and a few extras I’ve included to make the experience special, yet effortless.

This package has come together after months of planning, sourcing and refining. I’ve thought about what makes collecting art meaningful, and what helps make hanging and caring for it straightforward. Each item is there to help you display your painting beautifully, look after it easily, and connect with the story behind it.


Custom premium framing

Your painting comes ready to hang, professionally framed to suit both the artwork and your home.

Each frame is hand-finished by my trusted framer, with options from minimalist timber to close-corner and gilded designs.

We can design it together, or I can guide the process to ensure it complements your painting beautifully.

A Beautiful Hardcover Book

You will receive a custom-designed hardcover book that tells the story of your painting, its inspiration and the process behind it.

Inside, you will find:

  • All of my original pencil sketches and preliminary paintings made as part of creating your painting

  • A signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity

  • A handwritten thank you note from me

  • A piece of the actual palette used to create your artwork

  • A QR code linking to a time-lapse video of the painting in progress

  • The work-in-progress story and photos showing how your painting came together

It’s a wonderful conversation starter, especially when guests ask about the story behind your piece.


Certificate of Authenticity

You’ll receive a signed and dated certificate to verify your painting’s provenance and ensures it can be treasured for generations.


Original Sketches and Painting Studies

You receive all the sketches and early paintings that led to the final artwork. These are included in the book and can be removed and framed separately. I think whoever owns the final piece should own the whole story of their painting.


Hanging and Care Kit

Included is a leather tool roll containing elegant tools that I’ve sourced from around the world. These tools are beautifully made and reflect the same level of refinement as the artwork itself.

The kit includes:

  • A beechwood phillips screwdriver, made in the Czech Republic

  • A rosewood and brass spirit level, made in England

  • A brass tape measure, made in Germany

  • A mechanical pencil, made in Japan

  • A heavy duty safety picture hook, screw and plug

  • Two microfibre cloths, to clean the surface of your painting

  • All combined in a handmade suede leather tool roll, made in England

  • My printed ‘hanging and care guide’, to make it all easy and straightforward


Luxury Greeting and Playing Cards

To bring a little playfulness to your experience, I also include two custom card sets:

  • One set of greeting cards with envelopes.

  • Two decks of classic bridge-sized playing cards, in a custom printed tin.

Each features your painting and is printed on premium card stock.

They’re a subtle and elegant way to share your new piece with friends and family and get the conversation started.


Presented in a Magnetic Gift Box

All of this is carefully presented in a beautiful magnetic keepsake box.


Great art does more than add beauty. It becomes part of your story. It reflects moments, sparks conversation, and brings depth and character to your home.

This package is my way of honouring that. It brings together the artwork, the story behind it, and everything you need to care for it, in a way that I hope feels thoughtful and complete.

Humbly,
Harriet
