Let Me Paint Your House
Keeping the spirit and design of home alive in oil paint.
Commisioned Work
The Big House
Over the years I’ve been commissioned to create a wide range of artworks in both acrylic and oil from architectural studies to portraits to more abstract, expressive pieces. Each commission begins with a conversation and a story, and it's that personal connection that shapes the direction of the work.
One of my more recent commissions was a painting of what the family called “The Big House.”
I was contacted by a representative of a family in the USA, asking if I would consider painting a portrait of their ancestral home an elegant property built by their grandfather many decades ago. Though the house is no longer in the family, it remains close to their hearts. It helped shape their sense of identity and carried with it the weight of generations.
There was something deeply moving about the request. This wasn’t just a home, but a symbol of memory and belonging. The grand design and quiet stature of the house made it an absorbing subject to paint. As I worked, the piece grew into something more than a depiction of place — it became a portrait of history, of lives once lived, and of legacy.
"The Big House was more than just our childhood home—it was a symbol of strength, tradition, and family legacy. This painting captures its spirit and ensures its story lives on for generations.” Kelly DiSalvo
My deep thanks to Donald and Kelly for the privilege of bringing "The Big House" to canvas.
A House Can Be a Portrait Too
Some buildings are more than bricks and timber they’re keepers of memory, place, and identity. Whether it’s a family home passed down through generations, a house that shaped your story, or a place you’ve only recently made your own, I offer commissioned oil paintings that honour the spirit of a home and the life lived within it.
Each piece is painted with care, using traditional oil techniques, and developed through open conversation to make sure it captures not just the likeness, but the feeling. I work from photographs and can ship internationally.
