Your Photo

Painted with watercolours on paper

Why not take this opportunity to have a beautiful glowing portrait painted of
your horse or pony? An original gift, or treat yourselves to something to treasure. Also an ideal
way to celebrate the life of a much loved departed friend. I specialise in producing a special
picture in collaboration with you, the owner, which you will be able to hangwith pride. I can work in all sizes and shapes,
from heads to whole animals, to suit all budgets. Please feel free to
ring and discuss details any time between 11 am and 10 pm.
not just horses, also dogs, cats, sheep etc; in fact anything with fur or feathers!

Choosing your photo
Naturally you want your horse to look his best, so professional photos taken at shows are preferred.
Out of focus or very dark snapshots are not suitable. Remember, I can only paint what I can
see, so if I can't see it clearly I can't replicate it properly. Nine times out of ten I have never seen
your horse, so I rely totally on the selection of photos you provide me with. Of course, I can make corrections to small sins such as  resting a leg or putting ears back at the wrong moment. If you really haven't anything suitable, put a film in your camera and take the whole roll.
Try to fill the frame - the larger the better. Some of them are bound to come out well.
