Commission of Rome!
Presenting: Un Giorno Nuovo
The title translates to “A New Day” and comes from the woman who commissioned this when she told me she wanted the painting to represent the promise of a new day.
She shared plans to use this painting to teach her children about optimism.
Booking this commission was also an act of optimism to me as she planned to take her children there one day.
Also embedded in this painting was the knowledge that her father-in-law is from Rome.
The painting carries both the past and the future in it’s details.

“Art has healing powers. And the power to lift people up when they are down. And that is a powerful thing and a huge contribution to the world. I love your art because it’s sunny and joyful. Life has enough not joyful moments and having your art reminds me of the world’s beauty.
We all love the painting! It is sunny and beautiful and uniquely your signature piece all at once! It will be loved and cherished. I am trying to teach my kids optimism (and myself too!) This will be a daily reminder. Everyone who sees the painting admires it. Your painting makes the room! I love the watercolors so much also!”

More about the experience of the collector:
“We knew we wanted a large statement piece for our family room in our new house, and we wanted it to be special to us and our family history. I have been following Brooke’s artistic career for a while and this was a perfect opportunity to finally work with her, so we commissioned Brooke to paint a beautiful scene of Rome for us.
It worked out perfectly as she was heading to Italy to paint on location that upcoming summer. Brooke was a delight to collaborate with. She is a true artist yet wanted the piece to be right for us. We discussed the size and the scenes in detail. She sent me lots of photos from location and then her sketches.
The result more than exceeded our expectations – we have a stunning piece to admire every day and it’s so very special to us.”
