Mini-portraits to raise £ for IH appeal

[Cameo]

As an idea to raise £££ ( I hope!) for this year's IH appeal:
The IHDG Appeal charity for 2005 is The Society for the Welfare of Horses and Ponies (SWHP) which is based in Monmouth, Wales. Find out more about this worthy cause in this IH Appeal section and on the charity`s own website at
www.swhp.co.uk

I will do some oil mini-portraits of your horse and donate proceeds to the IH appeal.
Price will be £35 for a genuine oil painting - size 7" x 5". All work will be supplied mounted.
All I need is a good photo of your horse (heads preferred because of the small size).
Here is an example (very small image size so I don't take up too much webspace!)



I will also be doing prints of my work at £10 per print (A4). The selection to choose from is below - there is also one of Pie for Kelly that I painted last year. It is difficult to see details due to small size - I am quite happy to send people more examples of details should they contact me.


Here are the other five to choose from:


Hope you like them!
I already have one booking. It will be strictly on a first come first served basis - and because of time, I will only be able to take orders for a limited time (especially if you want pictures for Christmas!!)
You can either PM me or email me via my website:

Eight bookings now! Thank you folks - this looks good for the Appeal.
Prints of the pictures illustrated are available as well.

Hi Cameo, received your pm, thank you....confused though as my original post isn't showing on my screen . I'll get a photo sorted, and send it with cheque.

Have you posted on general chat, perhaps more likely to reach the largest no of potential participants?? Just a thought
Sue

[Cameo]

Hi Sue,
I have - but of course it falls down the list unless we keep up the chat!!
Off to "lift" it!!
Sorry your message disappeared - that has happened to me too - when I sent a PM.

Just emailed you with another 'order' (request)!
Well done you.

[Cameo]

Thanks rj - got your emails.
I'm afraid I have to "close the door" for a while, whilst I paint!

Thanks to Varkie/Gizzypop/Jowithben/ Lesley/Gemma for your cheques - off to carry on painting!

[gizzypop]

Yippy that means mine will done soon, can't wait

[Cameo]

I'm starting yours tomorrow Gizzypop. I like to have a few "on the go" as oil takes a while to dry for each layer - that does mean a little wait before I can safely send them throgh teh post - but I am happy to email pics if you can't wait - er - once I buy my new digitial camera (see "Things I learnt today" thread - as my old one got rather wet in my bag when a bottle of water leaked - it looks like I'm going for a Canon - but haven't fully decided yet...!)

[gizzypop]

Hi Cameo

I'm going to wait to see it, it will be nice to sit and open the package as a surprise. Its my little treat to myself and you don't get many surprises in this life.
