Commissioned Oil Paintings
Rayne Ethetton creates personal oil paintings for clients across the United States, transforming photographs and memories into portraits, landscapes, wedding paintings, pet portraits, and meaningful places.
From your vision to a one-of-a-kind-painting
Some paintings begin with a photograph. Others begin with an idea, a memory, or something you've imagined in your mind. I work closely with you to bring that vision to life, creating an original painting that captures not only what you see, but what it means to you.
What Rayne paints
Made personal, one brushstroke at a time.
Landscapes
