FAQs

Do I have to have a big garden?

No, in this instance size does not matter! As long as you have memories and stories to tell, and have a garden that you love - it could be a window box and would be enough. Ultimately I make paintings that reflect the relationship between people and nature - so as long as those two things are involved, it will be big enough!

How big will the painting be?

The answer to that is entirely up to you. There is no size too big or too small, although I usually work on a minimum size of 30cm x 30cm. I will work with you to ensure you get the best possible size for the location of the painting.

Will it be abstract?

Only if that is what you request - I will work through with you a variety of sizes, formats, ideas and possibilities before any agreement is reached.

Can I choose the colour schemes?

I will work with you and your garden to ensure colours and design are sympathetic to your environment, and be advised by you and your garden as to particular colours you might prefer.

How long will it take?

This obviously depends on how large the painting is and how much time you can spare to work with me on ideas, but once the process starts, I will keep you informed every step of the way and will commit to your painting first and foremost to be sure it’s delivered in a timely manner.

Can you do any garden in the UK or Northern France?

As long as I can get there by some kind of transportation, then yes - anywhere. There may be additional costs involved if it is a garden on a remote island, but I am a great believer that anything is possible, so if your garden is in a remote location, I’d be happy to chat through the possibilities.

How much will it cost?

All costs will be discussed with you before any agreement is reached so you are fully in control of the process throughout. Each painting is unique but to get a rough idea of what it will cost you, visit my ‘Original Works’ page of my website to see paintings and prices.
