This section of my website
is devoted to custom portraits of pets. A specially commissioned,
realistic painting by a professional pet portrait artist is an
increasingly popular way to remember and celebrate a much loved companion.
I have been painting pets and wildlife for many years and have happy
customers all over the world.
Your pet portrait can have a
single pet or a group, a head study or full body, with a simple
background or a detailed setting. I specialise in life like watercolour
paintings. I paint
dogs,
cats,
horses,
birds (or any favourite animal) and
I make every effort to ensure that you are completely happy with the
final painting.
The 'How
to Order'page has lots of helpful tips and full details of the
basic information I need to produce your pet's portrait if you decide
to commission a painting. Pet
Portrait Gift Certificates are also available if you would
like to give a unique and memorable present!
I work from photographs
of your pet or pets.
As a rule, the better
the photos you are able to send the better the final portrait will be.
The 'Photo
Tips'page has advice on taking or selecting the best photographs of your
pet for the painting. My portraits of pets are very realistic, so the more
detail I can see in the photos the more I can include in your painting.
I will be happy to give you a
personal quote based on
your requirements for your pet portrait. This is provided free of
charge and without obligation wherever you are in the world, so please
don't worry about asking!
Watercolour is the most wonderful medium to work in and gives results that
are simply stunning. It is equally suited to sweeping washes and
extraordinary detail; for me it is the perfect choice for a beautifully
life like portrait of any animal. All of the paintings of
dogs,
cats,
horses
and birds
in the Pet Portrait Galleries here have been a pleasure to work on - I
hope you enjoy them too and look forward to hearing from you if you would
like to commission your very own!
