New commission service from Surrey portrait artist

It's hard nowadays to come up with an original wedding gift idea, and with many couples already living together before tying the knot - and honeymoons now UK-based - what are your giftlist options if you're a wedding guest? Have you considered something completely bespoke? Check out this local Surrey artist for inspiration...

"A wedding gives beautiful inspiration for any artist; the intricate dress details, and gorgeous hairstyles are a pleasure to paint. I have recently launched my new commission service, whereby couples or guests send me their photographs for me to transform into a bespoke oil painting," shares Surrey artist Emily Wynn.
"An oil painting is a timeless way to preserve a precious memory. I guide my clients through artistic choices such as size, colours and the background to allow me to create a personalised piece of art. You don't need any experience to collaborate with me, just a clear photograph...
If you are undecided on the photo to use, I also provide Gift Canvases, for that for that extra special present. On the day you can present a beautifully wrapped gift certificate, so that the couple can choose the photo they wish to use for their portrait.
"This year has been incredibly hard for many people, especially when major plans have had to be delayed. I am excited to see couples bringing families and friends together again to celebrate the beginning of their married lives.
