Houses and Buildings
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.

Our typical timescale is 5–6 weeks. We will confirm the estimated timing in your quotation.
Review your finished painting
When the painting is ready, we will email you a high-resolution photograph for approval.
Reasonable minor amendments are free before final approval. Substantial changes to the agreed composition will be quoted separately.

The remaining 50% is payable after you approve the finished painting and before dispatch.
Worldwide delivery is free for rolled canvases. Overseas shipping for framed paintings is quoted individually according to the destination and the finished artwork.
