How to Buy

About buying paintings

For several years I have supplied work(s) to customers in the UK and Europe, together with the USA, Russia and China.

Work(s) may be viewed at my studio by prior appointment, or for UK customers only, if preferred, work(s) may be brought to your home, or office for viewing, without obligation.

Prices quoted are the full price and will not incur the addition of VAT and are consistent with the Galleries that stock my work(s), unless offered either in the 'Studio Clearance' pages, or through occasional ‘sales offers’ at individual Galleries.

’Studio Clearance’ work(s) are predominantly selections of studies produced for later works.

Please do not hesitate in contacting me if you have any particular queries.

UK Delivery:

I offer free delivery for items listed in the ‘Studio Clearance’ pages to destinations in the UK.
Orders for these items will be dispatched usually within 48 hours and will be sent out by Royal Mail Recorded Delivery and will need
to be signed for.
Most UK orders will arrive within 2 to 5 working days from the date of the order.

As the work(s) shown in the ‘Paintings’ section of the website vary in size and weight the cost of delivery will be confirmed when an
order is placed.  
I find this is the best method for ensuring that items are delivered to suit purchasers’ individual requirements.
