Private Commission - Family Sailing Holiday
A family sailing yacht is shown under way in a fresh breeze, heeling gently with figures in the cockpit and a Norwegian flag streaming from the stern. The painting was commissioned as a personal memento — a specific boat, a specific day, and the people who were aboard, rendered in paint to preserve that moment on the water.
Yacht portrait commissions like this are composed from the client's own photographs, combined with wider reference for accurate rigging detail and water conditions. The aim is to capture not just the boat but the feeling of the day — the light, the sea state, the sense of motion — so that the painting serves as a genuine memory rather than a generic image.

This Painting Found Its Home.
Yours Is Waiting.
If this work caught your eye, a commission allows us to create something with the same spirit — a vessel, a stretch of water, a moment in maritime history that means something to you.
You don’t need to have all the details. Many commissions begin with nothing more than a name or a memory. We’ll work out the subject, the setting, and the composition together.
Leave your details and I’ll reply personally, usually within one working day.
