Being a versatile artist, I can paint in many styles from Van Gogh to Degas to Thomas C Fedro – all famous artists that I have been previously been commissioned to paint in the style of.
All my materials are of the best artist and archival quality ensuring a long life of your painting.After contacting me, we will discuss your requirements and I will keep you informed at every stage. There will be opportunities through this shared process to make minor alteration as we progress. Wherever possible if painting a portrait, I like to meet the subject – it gives me the opportunity to get a feeling for character and true colour– although it is not essential as distance and circumstances may not allow. As long as I have a few good photographs -I will be able to advise the best way to do this – but if this is no longer possible due to circumstances – anything is possible with technology and a good chat.
