The most praiseworthy form of painting is the one that most resembles what it imitates. ~Leonardo da Vinci

COMMISSIONS ACCEPTED

If you have a favourite landscape or seascape, wildlife bird or animal, homestead or farm, street scene or building that holds a special place in your heart and would like to have it created as an original painting I can help you make that happen. Your artwork will bring cherished memories and endless value to generations for years to come.  I do accept commissions and will guarantee a very close likeness to your photo and will refund (minus the cost of shipping, canvas and other materials used in the painting) if not entirely satisfied. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your art product you may return it within 30 days from the date you receive it keeping in mind above charges.

_{^{Virginia Houston is a gifted artist, a former Newfoundlander who now resides in Oakfield, Nova Scotia. These scenic provinces steeped in history provide artists like Virginia with some of the most spectacular scenery around.}}

In this collection Virginia has captured some of the most scenic and memorable moments in Newfoundland's art history in a style that's truly unique.

Since moving to Nova Scotia, Virginia has been active in the arts scene there, a member of several art organizations, taking part in many yearly art exhibitions, as well as a co-op owner of three art galleries.
