Imagine your favourite car, past or present, captured in a bespoke oil painting. Whether it’s your pride and joy, a dream car, or something tied to a great memory, a commissioned piece turns it into something you can live with every day. I’ve been painting automotive subjects for over 30 years, creating personal pieces for collectors and enthusiasts around the world. The process is quite simple …
N.B: “My order book is currently quite full but I’m always happy to discuss ideas and future commissions.”
How to Commission the Artist
It’s easier than you might think …
All I need is a photo of the car, bike or subject, a suggestion of the background you’d like, or an idea of how you might like your finished painting to look. (or you can of course leave this bit to me).
I ask for a small nonrefundable 10% deposit, with your order, this secures your slot in my schedule and covers initial work and preparation.
I will give you an idea of the time scale as there is quite a long waiting list for my paintings
I will contact you when your painting is finished, send you a photo or two and ask for full payment. I then send or personally deliver your painting to you.
If you are not completely satisfied I will give you a refund.

Price Variations :
There are no hidden extras .
My prices include a Frame and P&P in UK mainland

From a simple portrait of your car to more detailed scenes including people, places or memories — each piece is entirely bespoke so the only time the price may differ from the above is;-
When more Cars, the House, Spouse, Children, pets etc. are wanted too
I am very flexible on content and subjects within the painting. I will happily paint more than one car, create a background from your supplied photo, add figures including family & friends, your house, even your dog can appear in your painting. I can superimpose a portrait – a famous racing driver perhaps, or yourself – giving you two images on one canvas. In fact anything is possible if it can be rendered in paint, just contact me and we can discuss your ideas.
It has been expected of me in the past to include all of these things and more for the initial price of the painting. I am happy to include most things in a painting but obviously at an extra cost determined by the additional work and time involved.
“Every painting ends up meaning something different to its owner, and that’s the whole point.”
Have an idea or two in mind? then please feel free to contact me, we can chat about them, I can even send you a preliminary sketch or two, and I can confirm a definite quote with no obligation to go any further.
