Just a quick one showing my latest Portrait Commission. I was forced to overcome my detail demons and got stuck into some embroidery, folding fabrics, veils, tiara’s, pin stripes and if all that wasn’t enough hands…2 of them! Despite all the obstacles I really enjoyed painting this piece and it could bookmark the end of extreme close-ups, people are more than just pretty faces after all : )

The feedback:

“Just wanted to say thanks once again for doing such a great job, We are both absolutely delighted with the painting, and the more we look at it the more we love it! I can’t believe you did such a great painting so quickly!!! I totally recommend you to anyone looking to commission you or buy anything from you…they won’t be disappointed!”
