A House Portrait makes an unusual and thoughtful gift - the perfect present for a friend who is moving house, for example, a lovely memento of their home and so individual that it's impossible to guess the price - which is true of any painting given as a present.

Below are some examples of house portraits which have been done as commissions. As you can see often there is more garden than house and the best compositions are often the ones showing a favourite corner of the garden with just a partial view of the house.

Like any painting it's subjective & there is no right or wrong - if you like it, that's what counts.

If you'd like a House Portrait for yourself or for a friend simply email some photographs and say what size you'd like (20 x 30 cms or 30 x 40 cms are the most common but you can stipulate any size you want - See the page on pricing, which also gives advice on how to choose the size - The governing factor is the detail and complexity of the composition - combining two different photographs to make a more pleasing picture, for instance.

When your painting is finished a photograph of it is emailed to you for your approval and the original is posted to you.
