A few examples of what you are likely to receive if you order a commission from me. Please note I would not publish your commissioned artwork on these pages unless you have given me your permission.
I can use any medium for any subject, but my recommendations are:-

Watercolour for a looser style and perhaps less detail. I use high quality paints with high pigment content on acid free paper. Horse portraits in watercolour are particularly recommended.

Graphite Pencil for highly detailed work. Brilliant for either smooth delicate skin tones or a more 'lived in' face. Especially good for detailing fur or long hair I use Bristol papers which have an ultra smooth, hard and bright white surface enabling immense detail as well as smooth washes where needed. For larger works I use slightly more textured papers such as Stonehenge or high quality hot pressed watercolour papers.

The Long and Short Of It 

I often use a semi-abstract, texture effect background which concentrates the attention on the subject better, as in this case.

Ron's Father

This portrait was created from a particularly battered and creased old photograph in an equally tatty album.

The subject passed away many years ago and this was the only photograph that my elderly client had of his father. With a bit of jiggery pokery on the computer I was able to produce a reasonable reference photograph for my portrait which I think turned out very well considering.

Edith Mary

This pencil portrait done on Bristol board measures 12 x 8 inches. Again the reference picture was very old, quite small and faded but a lovely pose nevertheless. I think this result is very pleasing.

Larger Than Life

Here's Murphy again done in graphite pencil, great for hairy beasts like him, it looks like you could reach in and stroke him. This piece was done life size on Stonehenge paper, about 43 x 25 inches (not for the faint hearted)

Sam

A little Long Haired Jack Russell Terrier named Sam. An excellent reference photograph has enabled me to make a pretty good job of this pencil portrait (even though I say so myself) About A4 size on Bristol board.
