Many years ago when studying part-time at art school I was asked by a local radio station to provide a painting for a charity prize draw. A custom portrait from a photo, to be specially commissioned by the winner, seemed like a good idea. I found the process of getting to know the subject through the client and rendering a painting of his loved one very inspiring! Since then I've created many portraits of children, families, bride & grooms, pet cats and dogs for people in many countries including the UK, Holland, Cyprus, USA and Singapore. Bringing a portrait to life is such a buzz and working closely with the client to this day remains the most important part of the process.

Please note a posting time of 21 days is a guide only as oil paint takes some time to dry before varnish is applied. Acrylic paint, which drys quickly, may be used for paintings needed quickly.

This is a custom-made item and cannot be returned unless faulty.

Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

Full description

I will paint a portrait of your choosing; a child, adult, (pet or any animal) the choice is yours. For you to keep or as a gift for someone special. All I need are good detailed photographs to work from.

This listing is for a single subject size 5 x 7 in approx (13 x 18 cm) or 6 x 6 in approx (15 x 15 cm) Other sizes are available. Please contact me for details.

Your painting will be created using professional artist grade oils or acrylic paints (fast dry) on a stretched gallery wrapped cotton acid free canvas panel. The painting will continue on the sides of the canvas so the portrait can be displayed with or without frame as you wish. I will sign the painting BEE on the front .

Before buying email a photo for FREE assessment and advice. Please choose high quality photos that are taken in close-up, have a facial expression you love especially with a clear view of the eyes. No flash please; shots taken in daylight are best. If the painting is needed for a particular date, please let me know.

Images of work in progress from start to completion of your painting will be emailed to you and a scanned image of your finished portrait will be emailed for approval before posting. Ships FREE Worldwide. In the unlikely event that you are not completely thrilled with your portrait (so far all my clients have been delighted), I will keep the painting to add to my portfolio and happily give you a full refund.
