Large Paintings For Sale
Very large paintings for sale, the larger the better and they look stunning on any wall. You can browse through the various painting genres and sizes on the site Sunsets, Oceans, Skiing, Sunflowers and Indian. We often paint these to commission to fit the size you want for your room and loosely base the painting on one of Pete’s other paintings.
There are two main types of large paintings:
Very Large Sunset Paintings have a central theme which pull you into the painting. Based around sunsets or low sun scenes, the light of the sun in the centre of the paintings and the colour combinations naturally draw you into the paintings, giving them a magnetic and uplifting quality.
Very Large paintings which are more abstract in nature or of a scene with no obvious central pull. These aren’t so obvious at the first look but can provide an interesting feature to look at over time with the eyes discovering new parts and hidden features & meaning within the painting over time.
The large paintings vary from 0.7m x 1m up to 1.5m x 1.2m. If you would like a bigger painting than this, please ask as we do occasionally have them for exhibition or you can order one by commission on the medium & colour of your choice.
Most modern houses have a ceiling height of between 2.1m & 2.3m. So if you want a painting to fit above the sofa then you are limited usually to 1.0m x 0.8m or 1.2m x 1.0m.
1.0 x 0.8m A painting of 1.0m x 0.8m will fit in most modern houses and is the smallest of the large paintings. It will fit in landscape format above the sofa.
1.2m x 1.0m is lovely but if you have a modern house with low ceilings mark this size on the wall to check its okay. This again should just fit in most modern houses just above the sofa, but check first. 1.2m x 0.8m or 1.2m x 0.6m are possible sizes which you may have to order if we don’t have in stock.
1.2m x 1.2m is also a good option and the square format works well as a piece on its own.
1.5m x 1.2m really is big and looks amazing. We don’t stock many of these so you may want to commission one. Choose an image you like and ask if we can do a bigger version for you. Copies of paintings are never the same, they are totally original. We keep the colour scheme and the general feel of the painting, but in the spirit of the way Pete paints, each one is inspired differently.
To work with the decor in your room we do paint some larger paintings to commission to a specific size and medium. You can choose deep block canvas or on board so that you can frame the painting.
Another technique to get a large painting is by choosing a smaller painting such as a 50cm x 70cm and then having the image professionally mounted and framed so a 50 x 70 painting becomes a 80 x 100cm painting. This has the added effect of using the mount and frame to tone the painting into your room and the framing can make it look truly amazing. We do not frame to this standard here, you need to find a good local framer and choose the frame with professional advice.
Shipping.
We ship these large paintings securely all over Europe for free. Once your painting is over 1m wide it is very difficult to fit the painting in the car. 1.2m paintings rarely fit
in cars so shipping by courier is usually the best option even if you visit the studio, unless you are visiting in a campervan / caravan . If you do visit the studio and are desperate to take a large painting with you we do have ways of fitting them in, but courier is the easiest method to get them home.
