I’ve had a mad busy few weeks in the run up to Christmas working on some super portrait commissions and my next portfolio project. While I can’t share any of these recent works with you just yet, here’s a time-lapse of my military portrait commission from earlier in the year, condensed down to just 1 minute! I hope you enjoy seeing a glimpse into how I approach portraits like this. Please do let me know what you think!

This little triptych was great fun to paint! Entit

This little triptych was great fun to paint! Entitled "Southgate You're the One," the painting tells the story of Gareth Southgate’s rollercoaster England career through retro collectible figurines which work as portraits within a still life.⁠

“The National Football Museum worked with Gary in October 2018. Gary’s proposal to portray football-related objects in a still life painting was a brilliant idea, and a great fit for our Heritage Lottery Fund supported project ‘The Art of Football’…

“Seeing the still life painting take shape over the week was fascinating, and the finished piece was very impressive.”

Emma Hadley, National Football Museum
