Yes I accept commissions to paint historic buildings and historical scenes in northern Califorinia. I also refer collectors to artist friends who paint other types of subject matter that I do not paint.
I do commissions but they’re rarely ever telling me what to do. I ask them to send me music they like and talk a bit about their life before I start though.
Yes, I would be interested in seeing a platform of this nature. In the past I have not accepted commissions, but have been considering changing that policy to at least accept some.
No I wouldn't be interested. I dislike doing commissions and usually only do them for clients I know and have previously bought from me. It sounds like a great idea for artists who do lots of commission work.
I used to. I find them to be stressful and take too much time away from my “real” painting. Often they are too restrictive and in watercolor, redos are start overs.
I have taken a few special requests from people I know, a subject which is up my alley, and they agree to let me be me. These are rare but have always paid off. I have even been given more than I quoted because the piece was so much better than they pictured. Better than they imagined is what I strive for.
But I will not open commissions to the public. — No, sorry, I can’t paint all your deceased pets and husband with the rainbow bridge, but let me give you some names of other artists that might be able to help you. (True!)
I am happy to refer commissions to other capable artists in the area.
Yes I love doing my humorous dog commissions. Over 60 so far. And the reason I love doing them and my customers love them so is.....they are all so funny and so very true. I have the customer (dog owner) Send me a page of funny stories about their dog. Then I do sketches on those stories and email to them over a day or 2 (so they can take time deciding). The one that cracks them up the most usually wins. Then, according to the size/price they select, I do the final art. And I enjoy it so much because I know how much laughter and happiness it will bring them. When they tell me, "Your art makes me happy!" I think to myself, "Warhol, Dega, Rubens... eat your hearts out! I'm happy with this!"
Yes I think this is a great idea. I’m often asked to do commissions that are outside of what I do. It would be great if I could quickly scan artists and suggest an artist that was a better fit for them.
Yes, I would be very interested in a commission matching platform!

I’d also like to see you create an “Etsy” type e-commerce that a person can come to to see fine art & artisan work.
Serious question: if you want "Etsy" type platform, why not just use Etsy?
More of a higher end artisan space /platform- I couldn’t think of another platform to compare because I don’t think it exists.
Yes, I do commission work and I'm find with a finders fee.
Yes. I do commission work and have, many times, offered a finders fee or if through a gallery they got their usual split.

I do commissions and we make the wood panels in house so sizes are highly customizable for abstract oil and cold wax art.

Yea I do commission work and would LOVE to have that kind of platform. That kind of platform would help weed out the scammers.
