ABOUT
I am an artist living in Treuddyn Nr. Mold in Flintshire. I have had works displayed in a number of exhibitions, including the National Exhibition Of Wildlife Art and The North Wales Open Art Exhibition. I have been featured in Artist and Illustrator magazine.
I have worked, full time, outside the field of art, but, having recently retired, I am now able to give painting and drawing more attention.
I undertake commissions, whether these are paintings or drawings, landscapes, portraits, or animals. I paint originals but also copies of old masters. Please see pricing for details.
Some example are below.

Example copies of old master paintings. All painted in oils using the same or similar colour palettes to the orginals.
Girl With a Pear Earring
This painting is now very famous, perhaps only second in fame to the Mona Lisa. It was painted by the Dutch artist, Vermeer, in about 1665. It is not regarded as a portrait but rather a generalised image of a girl in an exotic dress. It's possible that the model was his daughter. The original painting is faded and damaged, so trying to get a true idea of what it looked like is very difficult, My copy, above, combines the impression from many different photographs.
The Goldfinch
A painting made famous by the book by Donna Tarrt and then even more famous through a film of the book.
The painting is one of very few known to be painted by another Dutch painter, Fabritius. He was killed in a munitions store explosion in Delft in 1654 at the age of 32, one of the greatest losses to the world of art.

Haystacks
Les Meules à Giverny, or 'The haystacks of Giverny' . This is one of a series of paintings by Monet. His painting technique is both very free and controlled. Bold strokes of colour but with precision and a genius for colour combinations.
I found this more difficult to copy than the other two copy examples on this page.
