Cow Art For Sale - Christmas Gift Ideas

Are you super busy but mildly worried that Christmas is fast approaching? Are you beginning to wonder what to get as a present for your loved one this holiday season? Do you remember that last time you bought something generic… and the look of disappointment on their face? What about that time they got upset after unwrapping your gift and they had to remind you that they’d specifically said “I don’t like that type of thing”. Did they tell you that you never listen. Deep down, did you feel that they were right? You want to do better but are you struggling to think of something that you haven’t done before? Something that is truly unique? Something that they will love and treasure for a lifetime? Something that really shows you have thought carefully about what they would like. Something that shows how much you feel connected to them. Something that shows them that you really know them. Do you have a loved one who is a fan of belted galloway cows?
Well, good news, Christmas Cattle Commissions are now open. If you would be interested in commissioning a cattle painting then please feel free to email me: info at mikejory dot co dot uk The painting shown is “The White Stripe” inspired by a #beltie on #Dartmoor in the UK. The original painting sold to a collector in the US and prints have been sold worldwide.

How to commission a truly unique belted galloway cow painting

How to commission a truly unique belted galloway cow painting

How a busy tech executive commissioned beltie paintings their loved one has a deep personal connection to withOUT sacrificing their limited free time by spending hours touring round galleries, art fairs and searching online…and how you can do the exact same thing.
Yesterday I revealed information about my 6 Week Commission-a-Beltie-Painting Program to enable you to get your dream belted galloway painting that will be a truly unique addition to your home, will fit with your personal style and is art that you and your loved one will have a real personal connection to.

So here’s the plan.

I am looking for 5 tech professionals who are tired of not being able to find the time to find a truly unique piece of belted galloway cow artwork that their loved one will treasure.

On 11th October 2021 these art lovers will start working closely with me to create a truly unique belted galloway cow painting for their home and / or as a gift for that special someone.

Does that sound exciting to you?

Would you LOVE to stop missing out on your dream painting and start taking the right steps towards FINALLY acquiring some beautiful beltie artwork that you have a genuine personal connection to?

Those 5 people will get: 

✅  The 6 week Commission-a-Beltie-Painting program: during which I will paint an original belted galloway cattle painting for you so that you finally get that special statement piece you’ve been looking for. The program uses the In-Phase Painting system which is a unique method to produce striking works of art in a time-efficient way by combining proven techniques from fine art, scientific research and agile project management.  

✅  Weekly progress reports to ensure the painting produced is tuned to your personal taste.

✅  Full access to the creative process from thumbnail sketches and initial drawings, to image design, colour and media choice all the way through to creation of the final painting so you experience the entire creative journey.

✅  At the end of the process, all preparatory sketches, drawings, experiments, notes etc will be provided with the finished painting so you not only gain a wonderful painting but also a wealth of behind-the-scenes materials and artwork.

✅  Your own App so that you can view work-in-progress images and videos delivered straight to your phone no matter where you are.

✅  Permanent exclusive access to the painting videos - as well as watching the painting come to life on your phone, all videos are downloadable so you will gain a permanent record of the creative process and the story that leads to your painting.

✅  Transfer of image copyright to you so you can be sure that you have a truly unique piece of art that will never be reproduced as prints etc.

“I have been commissioning art work from Mike for over 10 years. Mike listens carefully to the brief and the work is of the highest standard. I would not hesitate to recommend this artist.” - Dr. R. Crook

The Perfect Gift for Belted Galloway Cow lovers - Beltie Paintings on Commission with a truly personal touch

September 20th, 2021

The Perfect Gift for Belted Galloway Cow lovers - Beltie Paintings on Commission with a truly personal touch

Are you a busy tech professional who works in the city but loves the countryside? Do you have a loved one who is a fan of #beltedgalloway cattle? How are you supposed to find a #beltedgallowaycow painting that is the perfect gift for your loved one, that fits perfectly in your home if you don’t feel a personal connection to the art work that you’ve viewed so far? Is it actually possible to purchase belted galloway cow art without buying something that other people already have? I bet you’ve tried art galleries, art fairs and online galleries and nothing has quite worked for you, right? How do you find the time to visit endless art galleries and art fairs if you're a busy tech professional, if your timetable is packed with meetings, scrums, wash ups etc? How do you justify spending money on framing if you’re unsure if you will feel a long-term emotional connection to the art that you purchase? Is the constant quest to find a belted galloway cow painting that you and your loved one truly love really worth it? Can you really get your ideal painting without compromising on style, composition, size and how well it fits in with your own personal living space? If any (or all) of the above questions run through your head… I might be able to help.
I don't have all the answers but I have created several #beltie paintings that have helped tech professionals including those in the fields of #science #physics #engineering and #computerprogramming transform their homes and workspaces and provide unique gifts for their loved ones. So, let me give you a road map, so that you stop hitting dead ends or getting lost on back roads, and instead take the fast lane to a belted galloway cow painting that you can be proud to hang in your home. Let me show you that you can have the art and living space that you’ve always dreamed of. I’ve had many tech professionals reach out to me asking for my help. So I had this idea to build a step by step plan to guide you from wondering how to get your hands on your dream painting to owning a belted galloway cow painting in just 6 weeks AND as I create the painting, you will be able to see it come to life and contribute to its design ensuring you'll have a deep personal connection to the finished artwork. No fluff. No messing around, just a simple plan to take you from wanting your dream painting to having your dream painting. I am only opening this #belties commissions program at select times of the year. If you are interested in claiming one of the very few spots available on this program, email me: info at mikejory dot co dot uk with "belties" in the subject field
Best wishes
Mike
