WELCOME
Paintings have been around for 1,000's of years - from the days of the old cave paintings. But the invention of Oil Paint saw an explosion of beautiful works of art.
Rubens, Michaelangelo, Turner, Constable, Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso - the list is endless.
An Oil Painting captures a moment - but lasts for ever. And that is what we offer you, here at Portraits of You.
Photography then arrived and everyone could take photographs - who needed a painting any more?
You can take a photograph of mum or dad, son or daughter, or whatever, in a wink of an eye - and now with digital cameras in seconds they are on your computer.
Who wants to sit still in a chair for hours, while an artist paints your portrait? Not me!!
And then the cost - £100's or £1,000's. That's why it was only the gentry that had portraits done.
But now here at portraits of You, we can change all that, and in fact go way beyond.
If a photograph exists, then we can turn it into a beautiful original oil painting that can last for centuries!
Would your pet Cat or Dog sit still long enough to have a portrait painted - I think not.
Would your son and daughter-in-law stay still and have a portrait done, certainly not on their wedding day, in her wedding dress.
And this is where we can take things a stage further. Your Oil painting can be made up of more than one photograph.
The possibilities are endless - limited only by your own imagination.
Would you like to have an oil painting of you and someone famous? - think about it.
Do you love your pet and Elvis? - think about it.
Do you love Golf and Tiger Woods and the 18th at St.Andrews - or Soccer, George Best and the old Wembley Stadium? - just think about it!!!
And some of those thoughts could be naughty thoughts too ;-)
The typical price for a portrait of 1
person in size 16" X 20" is only £95.00 inc p&p !!! (worldwide "signed
for")
I am sure your mind is now ticking over, so please have a

I look forward to capturing a moment for you (real or fantasy) that will last for centuries.
