Here are paintings on canvas, examples of custom portraits I've painted in oils, based on photos of children sent to me by clients.

I offer a range of size options. You can select from the drop down menu. There are considerably more canvas sizes available, so if you don't see the size you want, please contact me.

An original custom painting is a wonderful gift for someone special, or for you to keep and treasure. All I need are your own photos to work from.

TO ORDER: Simply click on Request Custom Order or Contact, attaching your photos for me to assess free of charge, without obligation. I'll get back to you quickly so we can discuss all your requirements and plan your painting before you buy.

It normally takes between 7 & 14 days to complete the work, a little longer at busy times. I will send you work-in-progress images as I go along. I welcome your feedback. After it has your full approval the painting will be allowed to dry, then mailed to you with tracking (signature required on delivery)

I paint portraits of people and pets, your house, or favourite landscapes and places from your own photos. You are welcome to ask any questions you may have. I'll reply pronto!

My paintings are created using professional artist grade oil or acrylic paints on acid free, stretched canvas. (Please note oil paint takes a few days to dry, before it is safe to ship. If you want your painting more quickly, I may recommend acrylic paint, which dries immediately)

The painting will continue on the sides of the canvas so the portrait can be displayed with or without frame as you wish. For some sizes you have the option to choose canvas board. I will sign the painting BEE on the front.

When you pay for your order and send me photos, your commission is fixed in sequence with others outstanding at the time, and your portrait will be completed in that order. So please get your photo images to me as quickly as possible. If the painting is needed for a particular date, please let me know.

USEFUL PHOTO TIP!
Please choose high quality photos that are taken in close-up, have a facial expression you love, especially with a clear view of the eyes. No flash please. Shots taken in natural daylight are most suitable.

MY GUARANTEE TO YOU:
A good quality image of your finished portrait will be emailed to you for approval before posting. In the unlikely event you are not completely thrilled with your portrait (so far all my clients have been delighted), I will keep the painting to add to my portfolio and happily give you a full refund.

I create art in various media and styles. You are welcome to contact me if you have an idea for a painting you would like to commission.
