Commission from a loved photo
Happy New Year! 2025 has arrived with a cold snap in the UK and many areas have had snow and temperatures as low as -20°c.
Prior to Christmas, I worked quite intensively on commissions and, when I received the photo of the skier, I was excited to tackle this new subject. I have “skied” and am relatively late in life to try and develop the skill (my friends would be smiling now as I’m probably one of the few who have got worse the more times they try, I blame my age and possibly a damaged ligament on the third trip!). Having been on the slopes, I can get the feeling for the atmosphere – the cold, the turns, the backdrop, the colours.
This year, I’m keen to receive commission enquires and your favourite photos. It’s an area that gives me a lot of pleasure – capturing a special moment and hopefully the painting can be treasured for many years to come. I guess most frequently, I’m seen for painting pet portraits, probably mainly dogs, but hopefully this painting will show that I pretty much love to paint anything.
If you have a favourite photo that may translate well to a painting, please do email over a photo and we can have a look together to see what would work.
