I'm often asked to combine pets with their owners. If you would like to commission this type of group portrait, please send only one photograph of the person. The photo should be a good likeness of the person. (You can still send as many as you like of your pet).

"Nicola and Cindy Lu " (pastels, 2001)

Price

The cost of a person in a portrait is £80 for pastels and £100 for oils. This is an additional sum to add on to the cost of a portrait. Eg. let's say you ordered a 16" by 12" pastel (£130), then the total price would be £210 (£130+£80). This would give you something similiar to what you see on the left.
