I don't always paint animals in mad colours, sometimes I can do them in their natural state!  Here are some pet portraits I have painted (including our own naughty Westie!).  I accept a few pet portrait commissions each year, starting at £175 (plus UK delivery) with a 25% deposit required on booking.  You need to provide at least one good quality photo (digital if possible), preferably taken outside at eye level (no flash), in a pose that you particularly like and ideally showing both eyes.  Please email me if you would like me to paint a beloved pet (or any other animal) for you, or as a unique and personal present for a friend or relative.  You should allow 3-4 weeks for your painting to be ready and I will email you a photo before delivery for your approval.
