Work by portrait painter and artist Stuart J Pearce.
Commission a portrait painting from life or from photographic reference.
Take a look at the examples and if they inspire you to commission a personal hand-painted portrait of your own, contact me, or send me a photo for a quotation.
Whether it's a family portrait, a gift for a friend, or for a partner, I will be delighted to help and deliver anywhere in the UK and Europe.
