If you would like to commission me I can paint you either a watercolour or an oil painting (see price chart below) using reference photographs that I can take myself or you can email me some of your favourite snaps to work from.
Do drop me an email or give me a call to discuss a potential commission and to get an accurate quote and timeline for the finished piece. My details are in the 'Contact' section of the website.
If possible I like to pop by and meet the animal and take my own reference photos although this is not strictly necessary. It also gives you a chance to meet me and ask any additional questions you may have.

If you would like me to work from your own photos please see the guide below.
When I've almost finished the painting I will send a snap of the work in progress to you for any final adjustments. Once the painting is finished I would email you another photo for the final proof. I would then need the balance to be paid and I would varnish and frame the painting and post it to you! And of course if you are local I can drop the picture off or you can pick it up from my studio just outside Marlow.
- Fill the frame with the subject matter and shoot at the highest quality file size.
- Photograph outside if possible or near a window for natural light.
- Take several photos to capture your fourlegged friend's character, as it will help to build his/her character in the painting, but let me know which photo is the one you would like me to use for the pose - the painting will be a true representation of that one photo!
- Be prepared to take more photos if I feel what you send me is not quite what I'm looking for. For example if the photo you send is pixelated and I can't see all the details.
