Commissioned Portraits

A portrait takes between 3 to 7 sittings of about 3 hours each, depending how much detail the client desires. We have an espresso and rest during the sittings. The paintings are in oils on Belgian linen with handmade gold leafed or washed frames. To be painted is a very special experience and these portraits will be handed down for generations to come. Aurelia will paint on location but prefers to paint in her studio if at all possible.

Commissioned Game Farms

Aurelia loves South African farms and game farms and she is prepared to travel to client's farms to photograph these special places. The photographs are then printed and in consultation with the client which subjects they would like to have painted and what size. As an example, see the "Hippo dam" under South African farms on the gallery page.
