Portraits...

portrait? not just a likeness but a story

portrait? not just a likeness but a story

  
A painting about you - Your Memories - Your Dreams - Your Loves - Your Lifestyle - As real or  as created as you wish.

My approach to painting people is to paint them in a setting or incorporate the things that say something about them as a person.

I do not  paint in a photo realistic way but like to work in a loose style so that the painting has life. I still strive for a likeness but I want my paintings to be much more than that.

My paintings combine elements from various sources, to achieve the balance that I and my clients are happy with.

When I work to commission I like to discuss ideas and initial thoughts and then sketch up proposals for approval or comment.

It is not just about me painting on a canvas but it is about working with people to bring together a story.

I will come up with ideas once I have your thoughts to work with. You are welcome to have as much or as little input as you wish.

Combine a favourite photograph and add your favourite place or activity or possession, Real or imaginary, serious or fun. The possibilities are endless to come up with a very personal painting.

A fun and personal portrait with a difference - a real talking point


I have been painting my necktie characters for around ten years and find that they lend themselves well to represent the male and female form.


I was asked to paint a family group but asked to use the necktie for each family member. each person was represented in their own favourite colour. The children played or read as the family rested while out on a walk in the Welsh countryside - portraying their favourite activity.


The same principles can be applied to the necktie portraits as the paintings of 'real people'
