A painting of your home or business

If you are looking for an original picture I can paint your home, business, pub, view, or local area. I’m able to tailor the picture, for example add in pets, family members or other features. Specialities are removing lampposts and adding plenty of sunshine! Have a look at the examples below. I enjoy the variety that commissions bring to my work. 

Prices start from £625-£725 for bespoke commissions.

  • Wolverton Hall Folly, Worcestershire.

    Nicholas Coleridge – Director of the V&A 2021

    “The paintings of our folly are MARVELLOUS. I particularly like the one where the folly is smaller, and the colour of the brick stands out against the luscious green view. Norman Wilkinson would be in awe of your skill. I can imagine the railway poster caption – ‘Come to Worcestershire, the home of architectural beauty.’ The picture is propped up at the moment in our bedroom, and I feel a lovely lift of the heart, each time I catch sight of it. Thank you for creating this joy.”

  • Chequers

    Boris Johnson,

    "...your painting is terrific! I don't suppose it is for sale?..."

    Boris sent a hand-written letter to me after seeing my painting of him and his family at Chequers Court. This resulted in media attention: The Berkhamsted Gazette, The Daily Mail, 'Have I Got News For You', & the i newspaper. Resulting in me posting the original painting plus a signed print to No. 10 Downing St.

  • 10 Downing Street

    Rishi Sunak

    I sent a card of my painting of Rishi Sunak and his wife to 10 Downing St. and received this charming letter in the post.

  • Northall

    "Hi Mary I just wanted to let you know how delighted and touched our son was by the painting you did which we presented to him. It really hit the mark. He was so surprised and spent a lot of
    time staring at all the brilliant detail you had put in it inc the sheep and our crazy chimney cowl that was always big of a saga as it was quite windy there! Thank you so much. I am so glad I thought of you as it was the perfect present and something think he will treasure forever.

    Kind regards Vanessa & James "
