My Approach

People often want me to paint a place that is special to them, somewhere that has significance. This is usually a house, garden or view that they love, but it could be a colourful abstract or floral with the colours and size that they want to fit a particular place. Commissions are personal, they involve friendship and narrative into the painting from the start. It is a great feeling and honour to re-create a special place or design for people. Some of my best work has resulted from Commissions.

The Process

• We can meet in person or over the over the phone to talk about what you would like. Questions I’ll ask include; What dimensions do you have in mind? Is there a timescale? What is your budget? Any questions or concerns do you have? What is your vision, is it similar to another piece of work, is it of a specific place or object etc.

• I might make initial sketches or designs and will ask for feedback, or you might trust me to begin work straight away with the brief you have given me.

• You will be invited to look at the work at various stages as it develops, either through photographs or in person.

The Details

• Obviously, each commission is different but as an example, a 3ft x 3ft commission would take between 4-8 weeks.

• The cost varies according to size, ranging from £1,200 -£5000.

• You will pay 50% deposit before I start the commission and pay the balance on completion.

• I can organise framing which will cost on average £150 for a 3ft painting.

• You can collect or I am happy to deliver the painting to you.
