In fact, the drawing you see here is my late father. I drew this in a matter of days so we could have it printed on the Order of Service at his funeral. My mother has the original drawing on a wall close to where he used to sit and she carries a scanned copy in a frame with her wherever she stays. She feels he is always with her! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1512148091150-IP1ZF7X5U0WLEBM7ZBS7/Screen+Shot+2017-12-01+at+17.05.09.png HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615584791114-FFIZEXGDYIUAORTW7DDB/IMG_9601.JPG HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615584981992-C676IQ39H7QEF389D0BT/IMG_20190410_080604.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/a7e050b6-faa7-4a40-ba50-98148228c952/IMG_7423.jpeg HOME - A Gift for Life As a professional portrait artist, the majority of my work is commissioned for gifts. Whilst we tend to replace old photos in a frame, original artwork never dates. Drawings and paintings are much more personal and make the perfect memento. Some people have even described them as heirlooms! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615401081053-3UOKQA0Y282S8GOPGHNE/Ezra.jpg HOME - Your BELOVED Pet We all love our pets as they are very much part of the family; what better way than to have them showcased than as an original piece of artwork, be it a drawing or painting. There is a good selection of my work on this site for you to browse through – just contact me and we can discuss your requirements in detail! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615588039168-NG0XS4DNGGV5IJ6559U0/packaging.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615314312228-FVPWZNQ633MN922FH5UN/pencil.jpg HOME - Creative process Initially, this is most certainly a two-way process! Many of you will not have commissioned a piece of artwork before so it can therefore be a daunting thought. However, I am here to help and guide you through this most satisfying journey. Please see the step by step process in the ‘Information’ tab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615587584132-Z07ARP0E5N8JENPB4Y9A/picture-frame.jpg HOME

have agreed on the photo it is then over to me! Once I am at a stage where I feel the portrait is finished, I will (if you wish) email or WhatsApp you a photograph of the artwork. 100% of my clients have been delighted with the result at this stage! I do need to say however, that a photograph of the drawing is NEVER as good as the original artwork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615632445635-XRGUQCIKGVWXD1NSB13I/unsplash-image-K8XYGbw4Ahg.jpg Commissioning artwork - LET’S Have a Chat This initial chat is important as I will give you an insight on the process and what is required from you. There is absolutely NO obligation if after our first conversation you feel a drawing or painting is not for you. If you DO decide to go ahead, I will ask for a 20% deposit once I have received the agreed photograph. Ideally I will need a 4 week lead time to complete a portrait. However, if you have a special occasion, let me know as I may be able to ‘slot’ you in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615896488690-EKS3UQB23NS8VEWKC8I5/Daddy%2B-%2Bphoto.jpg Commissioning artwork - Send me a PHOTO Between us, let’s choose the right photograph. This is the most important part of the process and probably the most difficult job you have to do! It is imperative the image is as clear as possible and preferably close up. The photograph on the right is just about acceptable (this is the clearest shot we had of my late father; I drew him in a weekend so that we could include it on the Order of Service at his funeral) - more clarity, however, would be even better. When you have a selection of pictures you think may be suitable, email them over to me and we can make a decision together. It can often take some time to agree on the image I use so don’t be disheartened if I ask you to take more! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615896488690-EKS3UQB23NS8VEWKC8I5/Daddy%2B-%2Bphoto.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615632312326-DRJF92S05MT62TK566VF/julia-berezina-UjsqZTBf00c-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1763416124699-BC000ZRJFTSIM60ETWWT/unsplash-image-dyBQ8b3JJ_g.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615632445635-XRGUQCIKGVWXD1NSB13I/unsplash-image-K8XYGbw4Ahg.jpg https://carolehallam.com/framing daily 0.75 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615587584132-Z07ARP0E5N8JENPB4Y9A/picture-frame.jpg Framing - The Art of Framing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2014a87131a5a9c4a8910c/1615587584132-Z07ARP0E5N8JENPB4Y9A/picture-frame.jpg Framing - The Art of Framing
