Commission a Painting That Means Something
Every commission begins with a conversation. Whether it’s a landscape tied to a meaningful location, or a portrait of a much-loved animal, the aim is to create a painting that captures not just the subject — but the atmosphere, character, and emotional connection behind it.

What client's say
The commission was to be given as a 50th birthday present. I worked from a handful of photos to get the character of 'Georgie' an Irish terrier, which is so full of character and sweet.
I enjoyed painting Georgie so much and I had ample time before the deadline that I produced several paintings and let them chose which one resonated with them the most.

'She's loves it! It was far better than we could have imagined"
This commission was created for a pet owner who was moving into her new home and wanted a piece to express her love of her best friend.
The client wanted something that felt natural and expressive — not overly polished, but full of character. Using their photographs as a starting point, I focused on capturing the subtle details that made the subject recognisable — the posture, the expression, and the sense of personality.
The finished piece was designed to feel both personal and lasting — something that holds meaning beyond the image itself.

'Thanks Richard, absolutely over the moon with the paintings. love the expressive painting technique and how you captured him'
