Over the last few decades I have been asked to paint hundreds, if not thousands, of private commissions and hope that most of my clients are not too scarred with the way I have portrayed them.

However, I do remember arriving at an Officers Mess in Germany and being warned by a senior ‘living in’ Major that he was “not fat nor pompous”. Big mistake; Huge… He was both and that’s how I drew him. He wasn’t happy but thirty three other officers were. As a cartoonist, I have of course sworn the Hippocritical oath but sometimes the pen just does not lie.

I have stopped doing the large regimental cartoons these days (just too much work) but enjoy doing individuals and small groups like shoots where I can really get to know the ‘victims’. I don’t like to work from photographs as all I can do is reproduce what they show me so doing surprises does require some proper homework.

As each commission is hand tailored and crafted, I can’t give a general rate but will need to chat through your thoughts before offering a quote and estimated delivery date.

"Bryn created the perfect painting for my husband and his two best men, it was everything I had hoped for and more. Bryn was under pressure as I only enquired two months prior to our wedding, however his drive, energy and enthusiasm for the piece made sure it was delivered a week before the wedding and without even meeting the three of them he managed to completely encapsulate their personalities. It is a painting that we will treasure forever and a continual conversation starter in the house. Thank you Bryn xx"
