I am always willing to be commissioned to paint a picture of your choice.  

"Gunner Thomas Wilson, RA" is a portrait in soft pastels, taken from a small black and white photograph (shown in the picture). The photograph was damaged, where it had been folded and so was not suitable for display.  I was therefore commissioned to paint the picture reproduced below by his son, which is now displayed in memory of Tom's time in the army during the Second World War and the many stories he told about his experiences.

Soft pastels on textured coloured pastel paper

If you would like a similar portrait from a photograph of one of your relatives in army uniform, please contact me. 

As you can see from the examples below, commissioned work done in the past has also ranged from paintings of pets, to Flying Fortresses. 

Examples

"Buster"

Buster was painted from a series of photographs.  Rather than just reproduce the photographs, I painted the picture in an illustrative style, using pen and ink for the background and watercolour and gouache for the main theme..
