Choose from a variety of canvas sizes. If your desired size is not listed, please get in contact with me. I use premium cotton stretched canvases as standard, unless otherwise specified. You also have the option to add on a frame if you wish - I offer black, white and oak canvas frame options.

Please describe what background colour you would like. As standard, I paint a plain coloured background so please provide as much detail on the shade as possible/or send an example.
