A portrait for Christmas
An oil portrait is a gift that stays in the family for generations. Each one is painted by hand over several weeks, so November is the time to book for Christmas. Contact Mariana through the contact page for enquiries.

How it works
You send me photos. I can choose with you, or select the best photo or photos myself, for one person or several, a face or a full figure in a scene
I give you a quote – 50% is paid in advance, 50% on completion
I paint, and share progress photos with you
