Small jewel-like paintings - Generally dimensions are 8 x 12 cm - oil on stretched linen
Since 1992 Paddy Hamilton Studios has completed numerous monumentally large painting commissions.
During the process I establish the work by painting a tiny version or versions to try out radical changes or to pre-empt the finished painting.
These small pocket sized paintings are hugely enjoyable to produce.
I think about Goya and work with an increased intensity, concentration and subtlety on this tiny scale. These small paintings are not 'sketches' they are fully formed large compositions contained within these dimensions.

Commission a Pocket painting
Open Studios' Five steps to happy commissioning:
1. Make contact online or face to face to discuss the size of painting, cost and the desired outcome.
2. Initial discussions will establish preferences for painting style, composition, overall tonality and the 'mood' of the proposed work.
3. A detailed drawing will be created for viewing online. The commissioner now has the opportunity to ask for any changes. Both parties come to agreement and the painting begins.
4. Photographic email updates ensure the client is involved at every stage of the painting's creation and feedback is always welcome.
Daily progress can be viewed on the 'work in progress' pages of this website.
5. When both the client and artist are in agreement that the work is complete then the painting will be dispatched or exhibited to be viewed at Dungeness open studios, ready for collection.
