Commission prices
My priority is for you to be delighted with your commission, so as well as doing a work of art that surpasses your expectations, and involving you personally in that process, I price my work fairly. I place great value on the artist-collector relationship.
I welcome commissions to produce landscapes on location, still lifes to order, nudes and portraits from life. I find this more satisfactory both as a process and end result, but if required I can finish from a photo.
When planning a commission I work collaboratively with the client, to consider level of finish, detail, medium (pencil or oil), number of subjects, composition and size. I can work to a budget if required. For more information, see commissions process
All work is on heavy acid free paper or canvas, a completely handmade unique original, made using traditional and contemporary methods, signed and dated by me. Prices vary depending on medium and size. Starting price around £500 including UK shipping, exhibition varnish (for oils), and Certificate of Authenticity.

Additional copies for friends & family
“Hi Gail, I received my reproduction today, I absolutely love it! It looks so much like the original I would never be able to tell the difference. It was such a pleasure to work with you again.”
I can arrange for my work to be professionally scanned, and copies printed onto paper or canvas. These are almost indistinguishable from the original (see video). They can be printed at the same size as the original, or can be ordered in different sizes. Copies come with a certificate of authenticity stating their provenance, signed by me. These make great affordable gifts for friends and relations, and can be a way of sharing the cost of the commission between a group, with each person receiving a copy of the size they want, ready to frame how they want.
Colour proofing
Comparing a printed copy against the original oil painting, and making fine adjustments to the digital scan until they are a perfect match.
The process of scanning, proofing, and colour correction is a one-off cost of £30, and can only be organised by me before the original is delivered. For copyright reasons, no reputable printer would reproduce an original without the artist’s express permission.
Reproductions can then be ordered at a price of one quarter the cost of an equivalent unframed original.
