The idea is that the background of your picture is one of your wide angle photographs you have taken whilst diving or snorkeling. Then the underwater scene will be created by you selecting your favourite photographs you have taken, which don't necessarily have to be from the same dive or even from the same location or even the same country.

I will then paint those images onto the photo canvas to create the underwater scene. Or you can send me your images and I can select the most appropriate ones, or I can use some images from my photographs to add to your background. again, it is all up for negotiation, depending what you want. The size and shape canvas or board is up to you and if you wish the background to be in black and white but the images painted on top to be in colour, again, that is your preference. You may wish a square rather that rectangular format, or even circular, or a diptych or triptych.

I can create a collage first before I do the painting so that we negotiate the composition until it is right for you, or I create it and it is a surprise for you on completion, however you prefer.

We can also discuss if you want it just in acrylic paint, or if you wish it to be in mixed media like the example, which has 3D elements where there are parts that are textured and more sculptural and are raised from the surface.

I can also change the scale of work and rather than working on wide angle images, the canvas could be a large scale image of a group of macro photographs. I am flexible and open to ideas.
