When it comes to commissions, there are probably two kinds of artist; those whose living is based on their artwork, and for whom commissions are factored into their income, and those who happen upon commissions that supplement their income, but whose primary income lies elsewhere. I think that Tanith Gould sits in the first category.
I lover her work, and this outstanding golden lion on the wall of The Journey Tibet to India restaurant in Easton is wonderful. Small businesses like this are enlightened when they commission such works, because they help stamp an identity and recognisable landmark for the establishment. Once they have paid for the original commission, it works hard for them every single day, giving them a solid return on the investment. I have not yet been to the restaurant, but having seen this beautifully painted lion, I am left curious and interested in going. Great work from Tanith Gould.
