Two Brides and One Dress
Earlier this year I was contacted by a client looking for me to draw her friend’s wedding photo together with her friend’s mother’s wedding photo. She wanted the two brides beside each other in a portrait. The reason being that the wedding dress was the same, with some adjustments made to the daughter’s dress. The…
House and Building Drawings and Paintings
I have been asked a number of times to create drawings and paintings of houses, buildings and landscapes. I even painted a construction site! I always welcome the challenge and enjoy working on urban landscapes sometimes to break the routine of portraits only. I decided to put together a few recent drawings and paintings in…
Jamie
This is a pencil drawing of Jamie, a 13 year old boy, pictured in the portrait ringing a bell in the hospital where he successfully completed his cancer treatment. The drawing was commissioned back in June this year as a gift for Jamie and his parents. My clients wanted to gift this portrait to their…
West Coast Kerry Wedding
This painting is quite small at 20 x 20 cm. I worked on a few small paintings this summer and I must say I really enjoyed every minute and detail. I got really consumed and sucked in by the images and the painting process. This painting was commissioned by three siblings as a wedding gift…

Their children live in Australia and they don’t have a clear photograph of all four of them together. I worked from many different photos to create one composition. The challenge was to make…
Katie’s Pet
This beautiful mare is called Katie’s Pet and sadly passed earlier this year. Her owners were very upset. Caroline, my client, contacted me on behalf of her family, with this lovely photograph and wanted it recreated into a painting. Her father is in the image leading Katie’s Pet. The painting is just 20 x 15…
Two sisters, Nell and Edith, holding hands
I finished on this drawing only a couple of weeks ago. It was such a lovely commission to work on, so unusual having the main characters lying down. The two sisters are so cute in the photo, holding hands and sharing a beautiful moment. It was commissioned by their aunt as a gift to their…
A Wedding Couple Cutting their Cake
This drawing is based on a vintage wedding album full of interesting images taken on the day of the couple’s wedding. The portrait was a very special gift for the couple’s daughter. Her husband Frank contacted me and visited my studio with a hard copy of the album. We looked through it and chose two…
