The following paintings are all by Frank Callaghan. They are either
oils or acrylic, and the attached description indicates the medium,

I met Claire some long time ago in Salisbury. She is a beautiful woman, quite unlike anybody I have met before. She longs to be a singer and has a very fine voice, and she longs also to be a model. Will she ever make either dream come... | Price: £220 | | View More Info.. |

I was spending a day in Salisbury, collecting material for painting, and called into the old pub named the Haunch of Venison. For those who know the town, this place will be familiar as a very old pub, small rooms clad... | Price: £325 | | View More Info.. |

Lake Como in Northern Italy has a light and scenery that is compulsive. When I saw these two men fishing, idly chatting away, not only did I envy them their serenity, but it made an image that I could not resist.

This is the last of the series of three portraits of Hazel, all taken from small photographic images, and all presenting the same problem of enlargement. Magnifying the pictures leads to them pixilating, and therefore features... | Price: £195 | | View More Info.. |

| Acrylic on Board. (40.5cm x 30.3cm)
This model is beautiful, yet she is wholly unaware of it. In this painting I had wanted to capture two things. First the quality of her transparent top with skin tones showing through, and second, her facial features. Hopefully I have had... | Price: £200 | | View More Info.. |

Hazel Manuel is a beautiful model. I am not convinced by this pose or setting, it's a reference she sent me. I would prefer something more subtle and suited to her natural appearance; less posed, especially the hair. But it doesn't d... | Price: £350 | | View More Info.. |

| Acrylic on Board (40.4cm x 29.2cm) (Unframed)
As always this model sits placidly and hides her thoughts. Motionless and quiet she sits and smiles in her Mona Lisa like way, keeping her emotions well hidden and her thoughts to herelf. Always a joy to paint... | Price: £250 | | View More Info.. |

This is my favourite model. She continues to be a strange contrast of emotions and attitudes. I always find her form wonderful to paint, but some days she hides her body, considering it to be unatractive. On days such as the on... | Price: £325 | | View More Info.. |

| Oil on Canvas (50.8cm x 75.5cm) (Unframed). I have been looking at paintings by Paul Hedley and Jack Morrocco,and trying to take something from them and incorprate it into my figure painting. I sense I have a long way to go but this is a start. This figure is my pefect model... | Price: £300 | | View More Info.. |

This model whilst appearing relaxed and at ease with herself, gives the impression of a troubled mind. I like the fact that her upper body is slight, but her lower body is more solid. She is beautiful and good to paint.

I continue to be fascinated by this model. She is serenely beautiful and always sits with a comfortabe smile. She says very little and is comfortable with being painted, but never wants to see the final result. Strangely she doe... | Price: £200 | | View More Info.. |

The model relaxes and allows herself to be painted. She remains at ease with herself with her eyes closed. I like the way her small breasts become flattened by her body position, too small to sag they contrast beautif... | Price: £300 | | View More Info.. |

This is Marisa Timson,a very beautiful Spanish woman. She has an amazing smile. I was always told by my art tutor, if ever you paint a portrait, never paint teeth. I could not paint this person and not do so, as her mouth is ... | Price: £185 | | View More Info.. |

This wonderful model looks at peace. She is amazing to paint. Apart from the beauty in her face, her body is incredible. Her heavy breasts and rounded stomach bestow on her sculptural qualities, and give her form great shape ... | Price: £225 | | View More Info.. |

This model once again shows no emotion, but her calm posture seems to hide a mind that is full of feeling. She is always impossible to capture. In this sitting she was in darkness, whilst a shard of bright light from the studio wi... | Price: £195 | | View More Info.. |

I continue to examine the effects of ageing on myself. I know when those who know me see this picture, they will (kindly) tell me I make myself look too old. Gratifying as that is, I find I need to paint in hard the planes and... | Price: £295 | | View More Info.. |

| Acrylic on Board (29.7cm x 40.6cm). (Unframed)
I have decided that it is time that I took a long hard look at myself. As I get older I become obsessed with age and the effects it has on the body, so I am embarking on some paintings of myself to take a look at that. I recal... | Price: £300 | | View More Info.. |

I originally painted this person about three or so years ago. The picture is still on the website. She was wearing a see-through blouse and was seated on a blue settee in my home. Since then I had pretty much lost contact with Hazel, ... | Sorry, It's Sold. | | View More Info.. |

Hazel is the most beautiful model. I have again had to work from photographs which is a huge pity, as a life sitting would reveal much more potential for composition and for capturing character. She would make a wonderful study ... | Sorry, It's Sold. | | View More Info.. |

This is something that I never do, copy a picture, but I was asked by a very special person to do this as a favour, so here it is. It's by a Spanish artist and is a painting of his wife. It is rumoured that when he pai... | Sorry, It's Sold. | | View More Info.. |
