Georgea Blakey is a portrait artist, specialising in equestrian and wildlife subjects. Her commissions have taken her from the polo farms of Argentina and Palm Beach to the game reserves of South Africa.  She was the art scholar at  St Paul's Girls School in London and went on to study at the prestigious  Chelsea College of Art.  She is equally at home painting humans and her subjects have included a portrait of H.R.H Prince Charles with his polo pony.  She has produced numerous commissions,  some of her notable clients include Viscount and Viscountess Cowdray, the Sultan of Pahang, Sir Tim Rice, Eric and Julia Morley, David Soul, Teddy Sherringham and Miss World.

Her absolute goal with each painting is to  capture the her subject's individual qualities. A child's sense of wonder, a puppy's naughtiness etc etc..

She paints in Watercolour,  oil, acrylic, sepia, charcoal, in fact any medium that the client  requests  yet is suitable to the subject matter.

PAINTING FROM PHOTOGRAPHS

Only under exceptional circumstances will Georgea paint from a photograph. Sometimes it is necessary if the portrait is to be a surprise of the subject himself . Obviously posthumus portraits are always attempted if the photograph is clear enough to work from.

TRAVEL

Georgea will travel anywhere in central London as part of  fee but travel expenses will be incurred for anywhere else, abroad etc. Plane fares will have to be mutually agreed before purchase as they can vary so wildly!
