Here you can find some answers
to general queries about my paintings, prints, greetings cards and commissioned
artwork as well as information about ordering, delivery and packaging. If
you have any other questions please feel free to contact me using the
feedback form, email
or phone (UK 01856 731216).
Original Paintings
are worked on acid free 100% cotton rag Watercolour
paper. My preferred makes are Arches, Saunders Waterford
and most recently Two Rivers handmade paper.
I use watercolours, both transparent and opaque, for all of my paintings.
Some of the paintings shown on this site are currently available for
purchase, or alternatively I accept commissions when time permits.
Miniature paintings are worked on a variety of archival surfaces
using watercolour and a magnifying glass. Original artwork is despatched
either flat packed or carefully rolled in a sturdy postal tube depending on size
and sent insured by Special Delivery in the UK and Airsure
internationally.

Large Prints
- Limited Editions
are produced in a
strictly limited number, and each is signed and numbered and
approved by the
artist. Once the edition is closed no more will be made.
Open Editions
have no limit on the
number that can be made and each one is signed and approved by the
artist.
All large prints are
reproduced from the original artwork on superb quality archival Somerset Enhanced Watercolour
paper using pigmented inks for the look and feel of the original
painting and I oversee the entire process personally. According to the manufacturers of the papers and inks,
these prints can be expected to last a lifetime or longer. These
prints are usually referred to as 'Giclees'
and for best results should be treated in the same way as an
original painting.
Giclee prints have become very popular because of their longevity and
affordability without compromising on outstanding quality. All of my large prints are supplied with a
Certificate of Authenticity in a sturdy
postal tube ready for framing when they arrive. (return to top)
Small
mounted Prints
are open editions produced on archival art paper using lightfast
pigmented inks and ready mounted to fit an 8" x 10" standard sized
frame, with the actual image size being 6.5" x 4.5" and they are
supplied flat packed ready for the frame of your choice.

Commissions
for paintings are welcomed - please get in touch to discuss your requirements with no obligation.
I can work from your photographs, for example of
a pet, or I can source the reference material, for example a flower painting.
You can have a painting of any size, and once we have discussed what you
are after I will be able to give you a quote for the finished work or offer
advice based on your ideas and budget. A 50%
non-returnable deposit is required when we agree the commission contract to
ensure your place in my worklist and allow for me to begin preparation. I do
not currently accept commissions for miniature paintings and the waiting list
is currently two years. An original painting
makes a wonderful investment or present, and I also offer a Gift Certificate Service.
