Commission an Original Painting
A commission is the most personal way to own original art. Whether it’s a place that holds a special memory, a gift for someone you love, or a lasting keepsake from a milestone moment — I’ll work closely with you to create something that captures it exactly.
One of my most popular commissions is a painting of a wedding church. Many couples want a lasting reminder of where they married — something beyond photographs, created in watercolour and ink. It makes an extraordinary gift, and a piece you’ll keep for life.
Every commission is priced individually. Get in touch and we’ll talk it through.
Your Wedding Church, With the Happy Couple
Send me a photo of the church where you married — or simply tell me where it is and when — and I'll paint it in watercolour and ink, with an interpretation of the bride and groom at the door, just like this one. Every wedding commission arrives gallery framed and gift boxed, ready to give — a very special wedding gift, a timeless memory, and a cherished keepsake for the happy couple. You can also add your names and wedding date to make it personal to your day.

Tell me about the place, the occasion, and what it means to you. The more you share, the better the painting. We’ll talk through size, style, and anything else that matters.
The Concept Stage
I’ll create an initial composition sketch for your approval. We can refine the idea before any paint touches paper — getting the brief right is everything.
