"As always Paul totally impresses with his palette and forms, combining exciting and lively shapes and drafting with hues and shades speaking of peace, tranquillity and beauty. I cannot fault his works. In addition he is totally approachable, friendly, and has no hint of the diva about him. If I had more walls I would have more of his works." 

about commissions

Commissioned paintings can be in any medium (oils, acrylics or watercolour for example), on stretched canves or board, generally unframed but I can include a simple hand-made frame, please discuss this with me as I am happy to produce work to your specifications or requirements.

Price and delivery depends on medium and subject - please contact me for more details and an honest discussion. Work will be posted upon receipt of payment or by prior agreement, or if you prefer I would love to see you at the studio!

reference material

If I can't get to meet the animal in person, I am perfectly comfortable working from your photographs - for pet portraits I suggest a variety of views including some close up details (eyes, ears, tail shape and any distinctive features) and a good pose or two that I can use as a working guide for the finished piece. I am also happy to give you regular updates on the progress of your piece if required. Again, please discuss your requirements with me in an initial no obligation chat.

postage and shipping

Artwork will be dispatched to you in a stout bespoke cardboard box or similar packaging, depending on size and weight of the piece, and despatched as soon as possible on completion of the piece. Postage and packing will be added to the price as per prior agreement and discussion.

Remember: oil paintings take a while to dry and varnish so allow more time before these can be despatched.

Postage within the UK will be from £10 on a rising scale - discuss options with me. Shipping costs for destinations outside the UK will be extra but will be as low as possible, price on application. The buyer is responsible for any taxes, import duty etc.
