I create one-of-a-kind paintings from your photographs and ideas from much-loved pets and people to homes, places and objects with a particular meaning. Each commission is painted individually and we can discuss the size, medium and details together before I begin.
I paint individual pet portraits from your photographs, in watercolour or oil. Whether it is a much-loved cat, dog or another animal, I aim to capture not only the likeness but something of the character that makes them unmistakably yours.
You can send me several photographs and I can advise which would work best for a painting. We will agree the size, medium and price before I begin.
Send me a few photographs and tell me what you have in mind. I will help you choose the most suitable image, size and medium, and we will agree the price before I begin.
Once the details are agreed, a 25% non-refundable deposit secures the commission. I will then create the painting and keep you updated as it progresses. The remaining balance is due when the work is complete and you are happy with it.
Some places stay with us long after we leave them. It can be a family home, a dear little garden, lovingly tended for years, a favourite view or a place filled with memories. I create original watercolour and oil paintings from photographs, preserving something of their atmosphere and meaning.
I paint portraits of people from photographs, from individual portraits to family paintings and gifts marking a particular person or occasion. I aim for a recognisable likeness while keeping the painting natural, personal and alive rather than overly formal.
If you have several photographs, I can help you choose the one that will translate best into a painting.
