"One of the only ways an artist can give their love is through their work"
Maggie Hamblin
What I love the most about the commissions I paint, are the stories behind them. Here's a tiny selection of some recent ones.
My process
Commissioning a painting from me starts with a quick call to find out the story behind the work and I ask for photos to be sent for me to review. I'll provide you with the standard sizes and prices and then once we agree on a size and composition, I book some studio time and get painting. For pieces smaller than 50 cms, I paint with no financial obligation. If you don't love the result, you don't get it. It's really important to me as I truly believe that the love I put into my work needs to be loved in return.
​
Timeframes
Depending on how busy my commission book is, I aim to start each painting within 3-4 weeks of taking the order and drying time is somewhere between 2-4 weeks, depending on how thick the oil paint is.
​
What you get
I'll deliver you a oil painting, a certificate of authentication which includes the title, story behind the piece, cleaning instructions and my signature. I'll also include D-Hooks and hanging chord so you're free to hang it as soon as it arrives.

Framing
All my paintings are provided unframed. I do have a wonderful framer locally, so happy to discuss if required.
