Vintage Wedding Portraits
These two small drawings were commissioned as a Christmas present to the couples in the photos. I was contacted by their children who are now married and wanted a portrait for their parents of their special moment. They happened to have very similar photographs of their parents at their wedding day cutting their wedding cakes….
Girl holding a dog
This portrait was commissioned as a Christmas present for the girl in the painting. It was commissioned by her boyfriend. She is holding her lovely bichon frise in their kitchen. The reference was quite dark and I brightened it a little. The client provided me with one reference photo which I cropped slightly. I didn’t…
Family Portrait
I was contacted by Adrian last November to create a portrait of his family on a short notice. The portrait traveled all the way to Romania and was given to the grandfather of the client’s children in the photo. It was a surprise birthday gift from the grandchildren to their grandfather. The client was delighted…
Bess the collie dog

Butch the Black Labrador
This is an acrylic painting of Butch, the lovely black labrador. ‘He is getting quite old but acting like a puppy each day’ is how the client described him to me when she enquired about commissioning his portrait. The painting was a gift to his owner who will be celebrating his 60th birthday. His two…
Kato the poodle
I worked on Kato’s portrait just last week. I really loved painting his portrait, what a beautiful dog and the reference photo worked so well. It was a smaller square painting 25 x 25 cm in size. I decided to stretch the canvas myself as I can never get a pre-made canvas of that size….
