COMMISSIONS

Having a commissioned painting is a fantastic unique opportunity to immortilise your very own aircraft or your favourite aircraft onto paper.

I can offer commissioned paintings in either watercolour or pastels. Sometimes I combine watercolours and pastels to produce interesting effects.

In order for me to work on a painting, I will require, if available, as many good quality photographs of the aircraft you require.The background scenery is an important part of any aviation painting. If you require something specific I would be pleased to discuss this with you.

Watercolour paintings including the frame, mount card, glass and backing board. They can be up to a maximum size of 26 inches x 20 inches. Pastel paintings can be up to a max size of 20 inches x 16 inches including frame and mount.

Prices start at £147 for a 20 inch x 16 inchs frame size. The price includes the frame moulding, mountcard, glass and backing board. They are supplied ready to wall hang. A 20% deposit is required upon confirmation of the commission order request with the remaining amount payable on completion. I will email you a photo of the painting before dispatch where for approval.

A carriage charge would be about £15 to £23 extra.

Please contact me to discuss your requirements or for a no obligation quote. See contact page.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Customer feedback

' I have just hung your painting of the BBMF Lancaster, Spitfire & Hurricane won at the Cotswold Air Show last month and I must say that I am amazed at the detail and realism that you have managed to instill in this watercolour enabling the whole subject to be brought to life. These aircraft are flying at me out of the picture. What a gifted artist you truly are. Thank you so much!'

Alan Simpson- Wiltshire

This painting was flown inside the BBMF Lancaster during the Waddington Airshow 2010 and signed by the crew and OC.

' Jonathan did not disappoint when we asked him to paint a picture of the DH Rapide and DH Dove in the original 1950's colours as owned and used by Fox's Glacier Mints Ltd. The painting now hangs in our hallway and is much admired by all visitors. The painting will be a constant reminder of the many hours flying in both aircraft. Thank you Jonathan '

Reggie & Jill Dickinson-Leicestershire

' I was extremely impressed with Jonathan's talent to paint aircraft. He was very helpful in every way with the construction of the painting of our Meteor T7. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone who wants an aviation painting '

Alex Walsh- Avon

' I am realy delighted with my watercolour painting of the three Tiger Moths and the sharp detail and accuracy you have achieved. I have several hundred hours flying Tiger Moths and you are one of the few artists who can make a Tiger look exactly like a Tiger to the purist. Thank you so much for a splendid painting.'

Sheila Fennel- Warwickshire

' I was most impressed when I saw Jonathan's painting. It was exactly what I wanted. What I find impressive with Jonathan's artwork is that it is not just a pictorial representation of an aeroplane. The ambiance is such that when I look at the painting, I am transported back to the cockpit whilst flying the Zlin. Thank you Jonathan! '

Geoff Dobson - E Sussex

' It is a great accolade for Jonathan to have chosen to paint The Yakovlevs Display Team. He has captured the movement of the Yak aircraft through the air and I am absolutely delighted with the painting'.

Jez Hopkinson Leader of the Yakovlevs Display Team

' We have three of Jonathan's pastel paintings hanging in our airfield restaurant and it must be said they draw a great deal of interest and much favourable comments from our customers and visitors. Jonathan has beautifully captured not only the images but rather brilliantly, a wonderful ambience depicting different aircraft representing Compton Abbas Airfield in flight.'
