Commission details:

PORTRAIT COMPLETED:
September 2016

This was commissioned as a gift for Willow's family. A 22mm canvas was chosen for this painting so it could be hung without a frame. Acrylic paintings leave behind brush marks which add to the character and I will strengthen the tones or the lighting where it may be lacking.

Reference image:

The reference photo was a lovely composition and a joy to work from. My aim is not to reproduce the photograph, but to embellish and adapt using mediums and/or special colours such as Iridescents and interference colours.

Customer Testimonial:

Karen, I was the lucky one to receive this beautiful painting. I can't tell you what a lovely gift it is, thank you so much for capturing Willow's character so well. I absolutely love it, it's beautiful and one to be treasured for many years to come.

Framing details:

This is the 22mm canvas option. The edges are painted and the finished portrait can then be hung without the need for framing, offering a contemporary finish. The 22mm canvas can be professionally framed at any time if extra protection is required.
