I do commissioned work on request.
Collaborate with me to create an original custom-designed piece and be part of the process as the work develops. 


The process:
Contact me to discuss your specific requirements and ideas, determine your approximate budget, painting size, colours, objects or views to be included.
An appointment is made to visit if required; I do quick sketches of my compositional ideas and take a number of photos.
Details of delivery date, shipping costs if any, etc, are discussed.
Once the subject matter is known I then do a few idea sketches for you to choose from.
I do more developed drawings of my idea for the finished painting and run them past you, making changes or adding features that you may want included.
Once all is agreed upon we determine the price of the work and approximate date of completion and delivery.
At this stage, before commencing I request a deposit of $500
I keep you updated with images of the work in progress as it develops.
Once the piece is completed I email an image, or you can visit the studio to view.
The work is packaged and delivered/shipped on receipt of the final payment.
Ideas
  • A painting or drawing of your home interior or original villa before renovation, etc
  • Abstract
  • Still-life - incorporating objects of your choice 
  • A photo or image in mind - pets
  • International drawings
  • Trees

Testimonials

‘We’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with you and are thrilled with the result!
Each time I glance at your painting, I see new detail, a subtle change of hue/colour etc… it is ever-changing.
Thank you so much for your input and interpretation. It's been most rewarding for us to watch an artist work with absolute freedom to interpret our ideas, and add a few of his own.' Wendy & James


‘We approached Raymond as we liked his style of work. We commissioned him to paint a painting to complement an existing painting that we owned. These paintings are hanging in The Beach House Kawau Lodge’s restaurant. Numerous guests have commented on how much they like his work. We do too.
We found Raymond very professional, easy to work with and would recommend him to others wanting his work.' Garry
& Lynette

'A big thank you to Raymond for sharing his unique passion with me and my family. I’m delighted with his attention to detail and patience on both commissioned and collected work. I simply love his take on traditional architecture when mixing with his unique kiwiana style. Thanks Raymond more to come.' Rhys Brown

'We have a wonderful Raymond Jennings painting in our collection at school. ‘Beach House at Piha’ 1290mm x 960mm, a homage to New Zealand artists. In the painting Raymond has included several elements that are clear references to artists Rita Angus, Don Binney, Nigel Brown and Colin McCahon, ‘as connections to New Zealand’s culture and history, beyond the immediate relative isolation of the coastal location.’ When we exhibit this painting we have examples of works by these artists and we encourage the students to try and identify them in Raymond’s painting. It is a very popular painting amongst the students and promotes a lot of discussion. When Raymond came to school recently the students really enjoyed talking about his work with him.'
