My Specialised Subject
This is my specialised subject, which is mainly commission based, although I do have a few pictures for sale.As people seldom have time to pose for me; it is also difficult for children and pets to stay still long enough; the bulk of my orders are done from photographs and repeat commissions invariably follow. This also means that my customer base covers the UK and abroad.
When I am not working on a commission I draw from pictures in the press or wherever I see something challenging. Some of my drawings of well known people have been sent to them with interesting results........................
Harry Patch was 105 years young when I drew this picture. He served in the 7th Duke of Cornwalls' Light Infantry, on the Western Front during the 1st World War; was wounded but went back. He launched the British Legion Poppy Appeal in 2007 at the age of 109. The last surviving veteran of WW1, Harry died on the 25th July 2009 and I think he deserved to be drawn and mentioned here.
Most pictures are A4 size as frames are readily available, although I am happy to consider larger requests if required.
