Portrait paintings

This gallery contains a collection of portraits. Our portrait artists are happy to consider commissions.

Silent Grace

That post office lady again! I've incorporated this portrait into my logo. It was painted with watercolour then enhanced with coloured pencil.

A painting in acrylic of a friends wedding day. Painted from a photograph on a 30" x 24" canvas. Various aspects of the photograph, such as the backround, had to be altered to make the painting balance as a whole.

A Shadow Falls

A highly detailed graphite pencil portrait of a Bengal tiger. 16 x 16 inches, created on Stonehenge paper from a reference photograph taken by photographer Cathy Sheeter and used with her kind permission. This is the year of the tiger, could it be their last? Less than 3000 tigers remain in the wild globally, such a desperate sadness that such a species can find itself on it's knees.

Back to Basics II

A figurative self portrait study. 24 x 18 inches. acrylic on canvas.

Celena

A Fathers portrait

Sabina

contemporary fine art portrait painting of woman

Colour Of The Sun

Watercolour portrait of an American Indian woman in the style of Jim Bama (but based on an image of the lady who works down my local post office)

Self Portrait

A self portrait in Acrylic. This is a more recent self portrait done in a more realistic style. There's always the temptation to enhance what we were given, but that would be untruthful.

John Wayne

Portrait of John Wayne Gacy. 60 x 50 cm. Group D

Portrait after Rembrandt.

A Rembrandt copy in acrylic. This is a detail of a larger Rembrandt portrait.

Up Close And Personal

A close up pencil portrait of a macaw. Parrots are a perfect subject for me and my pencil, a lot of attractive detail and always a hint of humour.

Ronald Reagan

Portrait of Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004). Reagan was born in Illinois and found fame as a Hollywood film star, where he also became President of the Screen Actors Guild. Entering politics he became the Governor of California in 1967 until 1975 and in 1981 started two terms as the 40th President of the United States of America. This is one in a series called 'America's Finest' with Scottish portrait artist John Boyle where an agreed subject is painted simultaneously. Group D
