After his work was seen at an exhibition, Ian was approached to paint this elderly gentleman.

“Ian painted a portrait of my late grandfather from a series of photographs which I provided. The brief was a difficult one; I asked him to change the clothes that my grandfather was wearing and incorporate a number of family photographs in the background of the portrait."

"Ian quickly grasped the issues and provided a rough (but extraordinarily good) draft sketch to show the composition. He advised me on the appropriate size of the piece and how colour might best be used. I am exceptionally pleased with the end result. I can wholeheartedly recommend Ian.”
