Pet Portraits

A unique and personal reminder of your pet!

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

A pet portrait is the best way to celebrate your dog, cat or even koi carp! A portrait says much more about your pet than any photograph can and, being a fine work of art in itself, becomes a fantastic and very personal way to decorate your home.


From your photographs I can create the perfect reminder of your favourite pet or a very special present for a loved one. I'll work with you closely to make sure that every 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. I would work from photos, these can either be your own or I can come and take reference photos at your home (if local).

Line and wash sketches

Westie in Water Colour

If you're looking for a colour sketch rather than a full oil portrait, 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. 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

Service Statement: Only top quality materials are used to achieve the best results possible for all my portraits and I will always try to make sure any commission is completed within an agreed time frame. Portraits in oil may take on average six weeks to complete due to the nature of my process, however, line and wash, pencil drawings of pets, people or property are considerably quicker to produce. Portraits created in oil can be offered unframed or framed with/without a mount. Line and wash portraits or pencil drawings of pets, people, children or property are all framed with a mount.
