On the whole commissions have not been a part of my work, but there have been a few occasions when I've been flattered to have been asked to do one and I have enjoyed doing something outside my usual box.
Nikolsky Cathedral, St Petersburg, 1. 2015
Oil and metallic foil on paper, 37x49 cm
My original painting, number 1, of this Russian cathedral was for sale in a gallery and somehow there was a muddle and it was promised to two different clients. I was asked if I could paint another which I did, making just small changes to ensure that each was an 'original'. Luckily both clients pronounced themselves satisfied and happy.

The Long Man of Wilmington, 2022
Oil on stretched canvas, 20x50cm
I had a very similar painting to this of my grandsons which was seen by two clients at an Open House. It was not for sale, but they asked me if I could do something similar showing their own grandchildren. I used their photos, had a happy time doing it, and enjoyed their pleasure with the result.
'Two for Joy' refers to the children and the magpies!

Mixed media on paper, 50.5x35cm
I had some paintings of the South Downs for sale on Etsy and was contacted by a client who wanted a view of The Long Man from the nearby churchyard as this was a special place for him and his wife. I was delighted to do it.
I am very happy to consider and discuss any request for a commission, and would do my best to fulfil your wishes!
