Emma’s portrait
This is my latest large sized portrait to come off the easel. It is 40 x 50 cm in size, painted with acrylics on stretched canvas. I took my time working on this one as I knew how special it was going to be for the client. It was commissioned as a birthday present to…
Two Cats on the Stairs
I completed this portrait a few weeks ago. The two cats are just lovely sitting on the stairs looking through the banisters. The client wanted to include a setting in the painting and this photo was just perfect for that. I kept it quite neutral for the black to pop off the image. The painting…
