I advise my clients not to choose a size that is smaller than around 14x18 inches (355 x 457 mm) (slightly bigger than A3) although I will go smaller on request, I would advise that some detail would be lost in the painting. I can go as large as you like, I have even painted murals on bedroom walls but my largest advertised painting is 30 x 24 inches (800 x 600mm) (approx A1)
I paint onto boxed canvas which has a 1/2 inch deep edge; these are not normally framed and can be hung on a wall without any frame. Of you would like a framed portrait, please contact me and we can go through your options. The canvas is a high quality double-primed artist canvas made from 100 percent cotton, expertly stretched and mounted onto a wood frame. The canvases are tacked at the back, instead of at the sides which keeping the sides smooth and clean.
