There is something timeless about a painted portrait. Whether created to honour an individual’s achievements or to celebrate the bonds of family, a custom oil portrait becomes a lasting heirloom to be treasured for generations.

In a corporate setting, portraits can acknowledge leadership and contribution. In the home, they bring warmth and character to a space while preserving the presence and stories of those we hold dear.

Commissions

If you’re considering a portrait, Chris will begin by working with you to design the artwork. This includes discussing composition, size, colour palette, and any symbolic or personal elements you’d like included. Once the creative direction is clear, he’ll outline a timeline and provide you with a quote.

Oil paintings typically take 2–3 months to complete. Pricing is based on canvas size and the number of figures included.

Working from Life or Photographs

Chris paints from both life and photographic reference. While many clients choose to work from photos the best results are often achieved when Chris takes his own reference images. In some cases your personal photographs may also be suitable.
