The Shand Girls - Oil on Canvas 18" x 14"

T he Happy Couple - Oil - 14" x 18"

This Portrait was commissioned by friends to celebrate this happy pair's engagement.

Windswept - Graphite and Pencil 12" x 16"

Young Girl - Colour pencils 12" x 16"

This drawing is of my daughter and was originally begun as a demonstration of freehand drawing for one of my Art Groups.

This drawing was done from a photo as an ongoing demonstration of colour pencil techniques to an Art class. I love the subtlety and depth that can be built up with correct use of this medium. It especially suits child portraits I think.

This portrait was commissioned by their mother as these lovely sisters were leaving home and she wanted to have a sense of their still being around.

Nerayanii - Oil on Canvas 28" x 38"

This near life - size painting of the beautiful Nerayanii was done from live sittings in the client's home and studio photos. It was commissioned by her parents to celebrate her upcoming wedding.

This was commissioned as a companion piece to one of Jack's brother, commissioned earlier as a Birthday gift for his father. We had a lovely photo shoot and both Jack and Henry were very patient about it all!

Jack and Henry - Colour Pencil 12" x 16"

Portraits of People

Memorial Portrait - Colour Pencil 14" x 16"

This recently completed Portrait was commissioned by the subject's daughter as a Birthday present for her Father. She had the lovely idea of using a Rose at each corner to represent the children and as they were quite Tudor looking, I did the names as banners.
