Here’s a recent commission for a dad’s 40th surprise birthday present. The family were holidaying near vineyards in the South of France where his wife grew up. She asked fort he colours to bring out the warmth of the surroundings, and liked the fact her husband is looking out including the viewer in the scene ‘So I feel like I am in the portrait too!’
Portrait delivered
Here’s the commissioned portrait Kirsty Jones won. Taken from an old photo of her nan and her as a baby, it’s drawn with oil pastel on canvas board.
‘It’s absolutely stunning and I’m blown away. I’d highly recommend if you need a special memory to treasure.’ Pleased you like it Kirsty!
First commission of the year
Here's my first 2019 commission delivered to a proud dad for his birthday, drawn in oil pastels from his favourite photo. His wife texted to say their daughter 'definitely recognises herself, she keeps pointing to it!'
