Owning your own unique piece of art couldn’t be easier
I will paint your beloved pets (or any animal you adore!) in either top quality pastels or oils.
Every painting is completed with great attention to detail making sure you get a stunning painting your family will treasure forever.
Working from single or multiple photographs I can guide you through the process making sure you get exactly what you want. Please have a read through the sections below for more information on my commission process.
- Do you want your painting in oil or pastel (oils take much longer).
- How big do you want your painting?
- Do you want a head shot or the whole animal?
- Take your photos outside or by a window where there is lots of natural light – Don’t use a flash!
- Try to get down to eye level, this gives a great perspective – I loved doing this with Diego it created a great pose.
- It often helps to have help! Having someone in the direction you want them to look with a squeaky toy is great for dogs or a feather on a string for cats.
- When you are wanting two subjects in a painting it’s best to have multiple shots – try to get the shots with the light coming from the same side and have at least one photo with them together as this lets me know their relative sizes.
- The most important point is to get a photo which really captures the personality of your furry friend!
- Pastels will take a minimum of two weeks to complete.
- Oils take a minimum of three months to complete.
- Postage time if it is to be despatched outside the UK - this can be expedited at an extra cost.
Paintings can be posted unframed worldwide
International shipping means that no matter where you live your artwork will reach you safely.
Not sure what to get your loved one when all they love is their wonderful fur-baby? A pet portrait is a gift that will last a lifetime.

An extraordinary likeness achieved from a photograph
“Su brought a wonderful depth to the image that I was not really expecting. Particularly impressed with the eyes that seem to capture the subject’s character perfectly and bring the portrait to life. Thank you so much, now beautifully framed and taking pride of place on my wall.”
