A pet portrait makes a wonderful present or a special treat for yourself . I work in either oils to produce a very traditional result, or in pastels, which give a softer effect. I accept commissions for horses, dogs, cats, other pets and farm animals, producing amazingly lifelike head studies and full portraits, capturing their personality and vitality.
I also use oils in traditional still life paintings. These are finely detailed compositions of fruit, cheese, pottery etc in the style of the Dutch old masters.
In commissions for both animal portraits and still life paintings I enjoy discussing individual ideas and requirements. My still life paintings are also sold in a number of local galleries .
