"Sandy Shores" by Diane Jennings

I am at my happiest when creating art. To see the painting develop before me is exciting each and every time! To be creative is the very essence of who I am and it is my passion!

I love to paint commissions so please get in touch if you have something in mind--maybe you like one of my paintings but would like a different colour or some other changes? I will be happy to work to your requirements.
I always email a picture of each stage of a commission for approval before doing any more, that way you can have more input into the finished work of art!
Almost half my work load, at the moment, is commissioned, from people seeing my work that is either already sold or from viewing some of my work that just isn’t the right colour for the room that they have in mind!
I am happy to reserve any painting and except reasonable instalments monthly/weekly until it is paid for-please ask if you would like to do that.

I also teach people to paint in my very popular classes called 'Painting My Way'
I am a Professional Associate of the SAA (Society for All Artists) which means I carry their endorsement as a tutor and demonstrator.
