PORTRAIT COMMISSIONS

Commissioning a portrait is the beginning of an interactive journey between model and artist. Painting from life an essential part of Daniel’s approach to working that sees your artwork revealed one brush stroke at a time.  The time taken in the studio translates into a unique work of art for your collection.  It also tells a personal story to be passed on through the generations.

LANDSCAPE PAINTING

Daniel’s outdoor works are largely inspired by exploration and light.  Working en plein air he enjoys all the challenges & rewards of reaching unique locations and painting in the elements.  Requesting a landscape commission means you become a part of the creative process. Sharing ideas, stories & knowledge of local areas is important inspiration for the artist to work with.  Feel free to get in touch with Daniel today with an idea.
