"Lynne did a painting for us recently and it was wonderful. We asked for a particular local park scene as it has resonance with my son and his family, and although Lynne said she had never done landscapes before, the final result was fabulous. It has so much depth and detail. I changed my mind twice during the process, and Lynne was always fine about accepting any changes as she genuinely only wanted me to be happy with the end result. Living not far away I was able to visit to check on progress and I could see some portraits already completed. How she could capture somebody's personality and soul like that is beyond me! I completely recommend Lynne, she's a genuine find and you will not be disappointed." - Angela.
The tiny house tucked away in the background, (No.79), is Angela's son's house. Do you have a special place that has meaning for you, and you would like immortalised in a bespoke piece of art?

Sailing is a huge part of this person's life. The subject of this work is of course Simon and his catamaran, but creating this painting gave me the opportunity to portray the sea, land, and sky, which I'd not had much practice in up until now!

This is my friend Taffy and his daughter on her boat.
I created the composition from several photos, demonstrating that I don't have to see my subjects "in the flesh" if it's not convenient or possible.

This is Robin, sailing his beloved boat "Dolce Vita". I cheated a bit with this one.......the sky in the original photos was the "normal" blue with white cloud. I substituted it with this sky at sunset, to give the painting more interest and drama. So, photos are a base to work from, but don't have to be adhered to rigidly!
