"Portraits of People" is new for our website. We have a few photos to show of the quality of our work. More will be posted when portraits are completed.
Original portraits, painted with the best materials will last a lifetime and gain in value.  We are now introducing portraits of people, a lasting memory of a beloved family member or friend. Portraits make a  special gift or simply a fine painting to treasure and enjoy.  If you would like to commission a portrait of your child or any family member, here are a few pointers.

 Size

Please let us know an approximate size you would like your finished portrait to be...i.e. 14" x 11" etc.

Medium

Please let us know whether you would prefer your portrait in oils, pencil, pastels or watercolours.  Each has it's own unique qualities which you will see from the examples on this website.  If you are unsure please contact us for advice.
More than one person
We can include several people one portrait.  They do not have to be in the same photograph either.  Just send along clear close-up photos of each person you would like included.  If you would like advice on the quality of your photos please look at our Photo Tips page.  Check with us regarding pricing as including several people in one portrait greatly affects the time taken to complete the work.
Special requests
Please let us know if there is anything you would like included in the portrait. Would you like a bust portrait or a full body pose?  If you require the portrait for a specific date please let us know and allow as much time as possible.
Guarantee
We believe in the exceptional quality of our work but if for any reason you are not entirely happy with your finished painting you are under no obligation to accept it.

Once you have selected your photographs and the other information please contact us for an exact price, with no obligation.  This price will include shipping and will be payable on completion of the painting.  We ask for a non-refundable deposit of 25% with your order.  You will be dealing directly with the artist who is undertaking your commission and she will give you you an idea how long it will take depending on her current workload as well as being happy to keep you up to date with progress.  When the portrait is completed you will be sent a scanned copy either via email or post for your approval.  Once we have received your final payment your painting is shipped immediately.
