Commissions

Having a portrait painted is a wonderful experience, and very affirming. The mobile phone has spoiled the value of the photograph, we can take a thousand photos and hang none of them on our wall.

​

A painting of a person can capture more about the person than a photograph every could. It becomes a thing of pride, capturing a major moment in life perhaps; a birth, graduation or a new haircut (yes, that has happend).

​

A portrait makes the sitter a little bit immortal.

​

When I paint, you don't have to sit for long periods of time because I prefer to paint from photographs that I take myself. I use them to compose a painting from a composite of several photographs..

​

A portrait typically takes four to six weeks to produce; taking into account the time it takes for the paint to dry, and varnishing and framing.

​

The cost of a portrait depends on the scale of the painting that you would like. But I can accommodate most budgets.

​

Please get in touch for am exploratory discussion about the possibilities.

 

I'm always happy to talk.
