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…

A Family Portrait of Four
I worked on this drawing back in July this year. It is a family portrait drawing of parents and their two children. 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…

Gibbs and Ziva, a portrait of two chocolate cocker spaniel dogs
I was contacted by the ISPCA (Irish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) a few months ago. They purchased a gift voucher to be used for one of their colleagues retiring. This is not the first time they did, I created a portrait for one of their colleagues previously. This time, it was for…

A mother with her sons admiring the Irish landscape
I painted this painting a couple of months ago. It was commissioned by the lady’s friend as a gift for her 40th birthday. I had one photographic reference for the painting. The client was not sure where the photo was taken but we both agreed it must be somewhere in Ireland. I would presume the…

Two portraits of parents
I worked on these two drawings in the beginning of July this year (2022). They were commissioned by a client in Douglas in county Cork. The drawings feature the client’s parents, one of both parents at a wedding and the other of just her father from the same setting. The first portrait was commissioned as…

A Drawing of Niall Moran
I was commissioned to create a pencil portrait of Niall Moran, the Irish hurler who played for Limerick, by a client a few months ago. The client really enjoyed the coloured pencil drawing I completed of Donal Og a while ago. She wanted to have a drawing of the same effect for her portrait of…
