Birthdays
A birthday gift made of paint, not pixels

- Professionally framed and ready to hang
- Free UK delivery, tracked, carefully packed and insured
- Sketch approval before I start painting
Pick a clear, well-lit photo of their face. A favourite birthday or holiday snap works beautifully.
Attach up to 8 photos. Clear, well-lit shots work best.
Attach your photos now, or order first and I'll email you for them straight away.
Painted by hand
What you'll receive
Birthday portraits are painted on heavyweight cotton watercolour paper from the photograph you send me. I keep the likeness faithful and the colour warm, so it actually feels like them, not a filter.
You approve a sketch before I begin. Then the portrait is painted, sealed and framed, and posted free to anywhere in the UK. It arrives ready to hang.

Framed & delivered
Sealed, framed and sent free to your door.
Not sure your photo will work?
Send it over and I'll tell you honestly whether it will make a good portrait — and what I'd suggest instead if it won't.
