Vouchers are available to purchase for any amount and can be taylored to each individual recipient.
Vouchers provide an ideal way to give a special gift while leaving the individual free to choose the work that most appeals to them. Vouchers also provide a way for a group of people, such as in the case of a wedding list, to contribute relatively modest amounts individually, which collectively can add up to a substantial gift.
If you are purchasing a painting, or indeed a voucher, directly from me there are three payment methods available to you. The first is cash, which needs little explanation. The second, is cheques, which are more than welcome, but I should make it clear that unless I know the purchaser well, the cheque will need to clear in my account before I can part with the work. And finally, on-line bank tranfers which provide an easy and paperless - if not painless - form of payment.
If you wish to purchase a painting but, for whatever reason, are unable to collect the painting yourself, then delivery can indeed be arranged. This includes international delivery. Please contact me for a quote.
I am open to commissin work and would be more than willing to consider proposals. This includes working to a size, colour palette or a specific design or concept.
How much will it cost?
The cost of portrait all depends on the work involved, thus, a large portrait will be more expensive than a small one, and a group portrait will likewise be more expensive than a single one. In general, however, I will accomodate most price ranges, and could do a black and white or sepia 40x40cm portrait for as little as 400 Euro.
How does it work?
Unlike artist's of a bygone age I work almost exclusively from photographs. Thus, all you really need to commission a portrait is a good photograph of the person you wish to be painted. It should also be stressed that, if you lead a busy life or indeed live abroad, you can simply send me the image via e-mail or through the regular post.
What if you don't have a good photograph?
If you don't have a good photograph then I would be more than happy to take the photograph for you. Preferably this photo session would take place at my studio in Dublin, which is kitted out with professional photographic equipment. If, however, you need me to come to you then this could also be arranged. Although, as might be expected, an extra charge would be involved.
