Oil painted portraits and pet paintings
Arranging a Commission
Contact me to discuss your portrait details, the size of canvas and pricing. We can meet in person where I can do some preliminary sketches and take photographs. We can also connect online and you are very welcome to send me your photographs as reference.
It is usual for 50% to be paid before starting, with the remainder due on completion of the portrait. A digital copy of the finished image will be sent for final approval before the final payment and delivery.
Installments also accepted, with the final work being delivered on the last payment.
