YOUR STORY ART
This is an advert for it
 This is different
- very different
Your "Hands on" painting !!
This is how it works - (suggestions welcome. Please email.)
You email selected photos, maybe something from a magazine or postcard, your dog, children, jobs, holidays, or defining moments in your life like getting married etc. - all the items you want in your picture.
Like getting all your favourite photos together and making a montage?
Only in the planning stage. (The house here or there? etc.,) as you would do anyway when you are planning a picture. Here, all the pieces relate in a new surreal world.
For example if you had a European tour, you could be seated in a pavement cafe surrounded by selected landmarks - Eiffel tower, Big Ben etc. and that donkey nibbling your straw hat whilst Fred spilt his beer . .
It could be fun.
(But do not embarrase the boss with that golf story you heard . . . )
A sample is below. Debbie wanted one for her parents wedding anniversary.
She sent, for example . . .
    Plus a little background information like -
" They met at the London to Brighton Run. He was a camerman & she was a reporter. These are the cars he had. They had 2 Georgian houses - No photos available, so they sent a similar one from Google images (above) - and one house with a fir tree outside. A sheep dog. This motorbike. They managed this Pension (Hotel), "Coca" - etc.
I will arrange the given items into a SCENE.
This is to save me a LOT of preliminary drawings and moving about, and rubbing out!
(Using Coreldraw, e.g. enables the separate items to be easily moved about, resized, distorted, etc., because they are on different levels in the object docker.)
You will recieve an email something like this -
 - A PHOTO SKETCH - Make sure all the items are there. Think of any changes you want. For instance Debbie asked for grapevines to be added, for reasons unknown. (Ok, I do not need to know!) -
Give the OK, and your painting has begun!
 I will then send an email of the painting (bigger than above. 1900 pixels wide), when I have nearly finished
and you can make any last minute corrections/additions.
