Send a photograph. Get back a painting.

A portrait in oil, painted by hand from a photograph you already have. Of a person, or of two, or of someone who is no longer here.

Painted from a photograph taken on a midsummer afternoon. Shown with her permission.

How it works

Along with who it is for, and where it is going to hang.

Both in the same message, before you decide anything.

Fifty per cent to begin, the rest when it is finished.

So you see it taking shape rather than waiting in silence.

Oil needs time to dry before it can travel, so this choice sets the date.

The final price depends on the size and on how many people are in it. You are told it before anything begins.

What I paint: People, from a photograph. Pets and other subjects by arrangement.
Medium: Oil on canvas, the same as everything in the gallery.
The photograph: A phone photo is usually fine. Good light on the face matters more than the camera.
Where it can go: Anywhere in Sweden, and further by arrangement.
If you change your mind: Say so before I start and the deposit comes back.

Start with the photograph. Everything else follows from it.
