Hand-painted house and building paintings from your photographs

We create hand-painted oil paintings of homes, cottages and other buildings from your photographs. Your commission can show the whole property, include its garden and surroundings, or focus on a favourite architectural detail.

The painting can follow your photograph closely, or we can discuss changes to the composition, such as omitting parked cars or simplifying distracting surroundings. Where changes are requested, we can prepare an initial mock-up for approval before painting begins.

Send us your photograph and preferred painting size, together with any changes you have in mind. We will assess the reference and provide a personalised quote.
