Can't sit long for your portrait?

I'm happy to make quick sketches on the spot or shoot my own reference photos. I work just as well from life or from photos.

If you prefer to provide photos for me to paint from, please be sure there is enough detail. For portraits, the head should be at least one inch high on a standard photo print. If in doubt, call or e-mail.

E-mail your digital photos direct

Please specify painting size, shape (tall or wide) and choice of medium (optional).
