I specialise in oil paintings of horses in landscapes, where a dedication to accuracy meets flair and fluidity.

We begin the commission process with a chat about what you would like. This can take as long or as little time as you like. Riders, additional figures, dogs, houses, grandstands, crowds and so on can all be included.

My preferred method is to come to you to take photographs and, if possible, make sketches and compose the scene in situ. However I can photograph and sketch elements separately if required. I may also be able to work from your photos provided they are detailed enough.

Once the painting plan has been agreed I will ask for a 50% deposit to book your commission into the diary. We will then book a day for me to come and visit your horse and to finalise the reference photos and composition for the painting.

I will start your commission at the agreed time and once the painting is finished I will invite you to visit the studio to view the painting. At this stage we can discuss any tweaks or adjustments you would like. We will repeat this process until you are completely happy with your painting.

The balance payment is due upon completion of the painting. After this has been received we will discuss framing and delivery requirements and these will be invoiced for separately if required.

I offer a varnishing service one year after your painting has been finished. Just give me a call when the time comes to get this booked into the diary.

I know from a lifetime with horses how special the bond between you and your horse can be and how cherished are the memories you make with them. My aim is to capture the personality and character of the horses I paint so that you end up with a piece of art that will bring you and your family joy for years to come.
