Pet Portraits

Own a unique and personal reminder of your pet with a hand painted pet portrait!

Have a superb pet portrait in oil created from your photos!

A pet portrait is the best way to celebrate your pet! It says much more about them than any photograph can and, being a fine work of art in itself, a pet portrait is a fantastic and very personal way to decorate your home.


Using your photographs, I'll make sure that your pet portrait is perfectly suited to you and will make a superb centerpiece for your home. You can order quickly and easily via Google Checkout using the Order On-Line link. However, if you're looking for something different or just have some questions, E-mail me with an idea of what you're looking for and I'll reply as soon as possible with the information you need.

Portraits of people and places

Self-PortraitCottage

In addition to my pet portraits, I can also offer portraits of children, family members, or your home! I can use the same painting style used on my pet portraits, a free style or my line and wash technique.

Line and wash sketches

Westie in Water Colour

If you're looking for a colour sketch rather than a pet portrait in oil, I also offer portraits using line and wash. This is quicker and cheaper technique than oils and can be used for all subjects. Contact me for a quote.

Picture FramingNew frames now available!

I offer a complete service, with the option to have your painting framed using a range of styles from modern to ornate. Pet Portraits in oil can be framed unmounted or with a mount and behind clear acetate (glass substitute), watercolours are all framed with a mount. More information can be found here
