You can also contact me on 07837 991041 to discuss your request or email me at rick.hardcastle@yahoo.com.</span></em></strong></p>When taking on a commission, I like to get to know the person by listening and watching their body language and movements. After this we discuss the clients wishes and develop a concept for the portrait. Then I will take photographs which will serve as a guide for the oil painting. The process normally takes about two months to complete.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6920344615944879314-8856819120235424846?l=rhportraiture.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13934602247975478407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920344615944879314.post-28749664238954107572006-12-18T05:40:00.000-08:002007-07-20T03:31:46.128-07:00<div align="left"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_qus7aZpO5zg/Rn5wCR5PXmI/AAAAAAAAAB8/7oe5wWRRJ5M/s1600-h/collie+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079620614186032738" style="FLOAT: right;
