An Original Oil Painting For You
Every piece I create is an original artwork. Even when a commission is inspired by one of my previous paintings, it will never be an exact replica. Brushwork, colour nuances, and small variations are part of what keep each painting unique and true to its own character.Best results come when you bring your vision and keep an open mind, allowing space for my artistic interpretation.BOOKINGS, are taken on a first come, first taken basis, with a 50% deposit upfront (non refundable). Due to high demand, I am only accepting commission requests with a deposit.TIMELINE, Paintings typically take around 5/6 weeks to be readily complete and dry... However, this timeline can vary depending on the weather and the number of commissions ahead of yours. Completion will be based on my current schedule and next available opening.The artwork is painted on a canvas, or on a board, or on quality art paper, using oil / mixed paints. The materials used are quality archival materials, intended to last a long time.- Available to Ship Worldwide -

Questions & Answers
Q. What type of photos do I need to supply?
A: Good-quality, well-lit photographs to help me grasp the subject and vision.Q: Will my commission be an exact copy of a painting you’ve already made?
A: No. Each painting I create is a one-of-a-kind original. If your commission is inspired by a previous work, I will keep the idea, but the piece will naturally have variations. This may include changes in the composition, colour palette and details. This is what makes original art special.Q: How do payments and deposits work?
A: A deposit confirms your booking and allows me to secure materials and time for your piece. The remaining balance is due once the painting is complete and ready for delivery.Q: Do you accept refunds?
A: I do not offer refunds on commissioned artwork, as each piece is created specifically for you. However, if you experience any issues, please reach out to me. I’m always happy to help and find a solution.Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: It’s best to book as soon as you’re ready. I take on a limited number of commissions and work on a first-come, first-served basis. I only confirm secured bookings and don’t keep a waiting list.Q: Can you paint people or pets?
A: Yes. I can do both type of portraiture as well as landscapes. However, Landscapes and Pet portraits are my preferred subjects.Q: What is your painting process?
A: I primarily work with oils . However at times I use mixed media where i can combine oils with acrylics, gold leaf, collage, and markers, depending on the approach best suited to each painting. Regardless of the medium, every piece is finished with a protective varnish once fully dry. Each painting typically takes 5 to 6 weeks to complete and dry, depending on the size, complexity, and other commissioned work in progress.
