Contemporary oil paintings and drawings

Welcome to the home of Cordell Garfield, a Northampton based artist and art tutor. Primarily an oil painter using traditional classical atelier techniques, you’ll find portraits and figurative work feature strongly in his art, as well as colourful landscapes full of light and shade. On this website, you can view Cordell’s work, purchase original art, book a space on one of his upcoming art workshops, and commission your own personal painting. You might also enjoy some of his celebrity paintings and learning about the history behind them.

Commissions

There’s nothing like having a privately commissioned painting, something that is bespoke to you or the person you are gifting it to. When you commission a portrait, Cordell’s approach is to ensure that this is a truly enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Portrait commissions typically range from head and shoulders to half-length portraits, using both formal and informal poses, depending on the occasion and your personal preference.
