In a rush?
Need a luxury at short notice?
It’s OK! You can order a portrait commission as a gift, using my Gift Certificate Presentation Book.
No need to even choose reference photos, it will be delivered, giftwrapped with your personal message handwritten inside, by return of post.
Always in stock, the book can be shipped free to any UK address, and worldwide at cost price. I can arrange all the details directly with your loved one, when they are ready.
Waiting list
I give full individual attention to every order, whether it is an item from stock or a commission. If you have a deadline I will do my best to help, but please note indicative timings below. Feel free to enquire before ordering.
See Shop for work available at short notice.
In general I process commissions in the order they are received. If you have received a Gift Certificate Presentation Book, please note that you will be added to the waiting list as soon as you have contacted me with your reference photo(s).
If you have ordered a commission directly, you will be added to the waiting list immediately. I will contact you to finalise your reference photo(s) decision etc shortly before starting your order. Please note that if I am already committed to a large oil painting, this can have a significant impact on the waiting list.
Items from stock - posted within 2 working days of order
Reproductions printed to order (this includes some of the prints in the shop) - posted within 2 weeks
Framing -
Framing takes 2 weeks, once you have decided from a wide range of options.
Commissioned work - my waiting list is approximately 1 month to start commissioned work. This is from the point of receiving an order and agreed reference photos (or appointment date if working from life). If I have committed to a particular delivery date I will do everything I can to meet that. End time depends on method, size, complexity, promptness of progress feedback, framing requirements, etc. As a guide:
Drawings - 3-6 weeks
Oil paintings 3-10 weeks
Linocuts 3-8 weeks
