Once the image of choice has been selected it needs to be send to Portrait Painting Gallery who will have their talented artists transform this image into an amazing hand painted painting. Once completed an approval email will be send. And only once the painting has been approved will it be send out – anywhere in the world. And all this at a very reasonable price; a painting of 15”x24”only cost £117.

It will take approximately two to three weeks from ordering to receiving your painting.
