Private Commission Enquiries

From time to time, I accept a limited number of commissioned paintings for collectors who feel a strong connection to my work.

These pieces are created slowly and with great care, in the same spirit and scale as my studio works, guided by my ongoing exploration of the sacred bond between animals and the human soul.

If you are enquiring about a commission, please read the information below before submitting a request.

What I Accept

I consider commissions for:

One primary animal subject
• Horse, dog, cat, fox, deer, bird, or wild companions
• Spiritual or contemplative scenes aligned with my current body of work
• Sizes consistent with my studio practice
• Works that can sit naturally within my God’s Rope narrative and wider catalogue

I do not reproduce existing paintings exactly, but I can create works inspired by similar themes, light, or animals.

Availability

Commission places are limited each year and depend on my painting schedule.

Submitting a request does not guarantee acceptance, I take on only those commissions that genuinely resonate with my artistic direction.

Pricing

Commission prices depend on canvas size and complexity.

As a guide:

• Small works begin from £700
• Medium works from £1,500
• Large works from £3,800

A detailed quote is always provided in advance

Commission pricing begins at a premium above comparable studio works and reflects the time, materials, and personal focus involved.

A detailed quote will be provided once your request has been reviewed.

  1. We will discuss subject, scale, and tone

Your Questions, Answered

  • I accept a limited number of commissions so each painting can be created with full attention and care. Availability depends on my current studio schedule.

  • I most often paint horses, dogs, cats, foxes, deer, birds, and wild animals. If your subject is meaningful to you, you are welcome to enquire.

  • Yes. Clear reference photographs are helpful, especially for companion animals, though the finished painting will always be interpreted through my own symbolic and atmospheric style.

  • Completion time varies by size and complexity, though most commissions take several weeks to a few months. A time estimate is always given in advance.

  • A 50 percent studio deposit is required to reserve your place in my schedule. The remaining balance is due once the painting is complete and before dispatch.

  • Deposits become non refundable once work has begun, as preparatory sketches and studio time are committed to your piece.

  • Yes, I ship worldwide using professional fine art couriers whenever possible.

  • I occasionally share one or two quiet glimpses during the process, though the final reveal is always reserved for completion.

  • Paintings are normally supplied unframed unless agreed in advance.

  • Yes. Every commission is an original one of a kind oil painting and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
