I have been collating some of my previous landscape, house and building commissions over the last few days. I put them together into a brand new page on my website’s Gallery. It includes paintings and drawings of places of wedding receptions, wedding proposals, corporate buildings for office gifts, family homes as birthday or anniversary gifts….

Mount Errigal Mountain Art Prints
I painted this painting a few years ago, of a breathtaking mountain in county Donegal. It was painted for a friend of my husband’s and mine who visits Donegal on a regular basis. She climbed this mountain a few times and the original painting is hanging in her living room. The painting is painted with…

Salvador the black and brown Golden doodle
A pencil drawing of a very unusually dark golden doodle called Salvador was commissioned by a client in Dublin. This pet portrait was a 40th birthday gift for Salvador’s owner, my client’s boyfriend. I worked on the drawing in August and the beginning of September using a series of photographs to correctly capture the colour…

Roseanne and John with their baby son Jackson and pet dog Lady
I was commissioned to create this lovely family portrait a few weeks ago back in August. John, the client, contacted me with quite a tight deadline for his wife’s birthday present. It was such a lovely photo, I couldn’t refuse, so I worked really hard to get it finished in time for Roseanne’s birthday at…

Katlyn with her Grandmother Rose
I completed this drawing a few weeks ago. It was commissioned as a gift for the young girl in the picture called Katlyn. Katlyn is my client’s girlfriend and she sadly lost her grandmother Rose last year. They were very close and naturally Katlyn misses her terribly. My client, Katlyn’s boyfriend, wanted to give her…

This is one of the latest paintings to come off my easel. The painting features Edel, my client’s wife, whom I painted already at her wedding day. You can view her painting on my blog here. Since I painted her, Dave and Edel had a little girl whom they called Sofia. She had her communion…

Charlie and Will
This drawing of Charlie, the gorgeous curly cockapoo dog, and his best friend Will, the very relaxed cat sitting right next to him was commissioned by a client in Kilternan in Dublin. Iain’s wife Shirley commissioned a number of drawings from me over the years, including pet drawings for her friends, a speedboat montage for…

He recently retired from his last position as the president of the Construction Industry Federation of Ireland. It is the staff here that…

Sheila’s 70th birthday gifts
Sheila was gifted these two portraits by her niece Orla who described her in a wonderful way when commissioning the portraits: The commissions are going to be for my aunt, Sheila. She is turning 70 this year. She is an absolutely amazing lady – incredibly special in every way. She doesn’t have any children of…
