What Collectors Are Saying
Real feedback from a real custom commission.
My husband and I spoke vaguely once about how it would be cool to have our dogs painted like that famous dogs playing poker painting but never went with it beyond just a thought. And now I know why, because we live in Montana and the master artist that would turn our vision into reality was in New Orleans. Bumped into Ocean and his wonderfully fantastic paintings as many tourist do along Royal Street in New Orleans. It took me 2.5 seconds to realize he was the guy!! I inquired, got his contact information, a free print (bonus!), and three months later, our vague idea showed up packaged with love and pride on our doorstep. It will be hung above our fireplace and will forever be our first piece of custom art that means more than anyone will ever know. Ocean nailed our pets personalities, created the scene better than I could imagine but it was exactly what I wanted, and handled the business side of things like a boss. 10 out of 10 will recommend to anyone and everyone!! This will not be the last painting from Ocean in our house!
