Capturing the Spirit of the Dog
As an artist based in Rutland, I love bringing each dog’s character and charm to life on board and paper. Each Labrador has bright eyes. Each Setter strikes an elegant pose. Every Dalmatian features playful spots. Each commission tells a unique story. For example, Taz is a Dalmatian from Steeton in West Yorkshire. He was painted in gouache watercolour on board. Then, he was framed and posted via Parcelforce 24 to his home.
Why Choose a Bespoke Dog Portrait?
Personal and lasting: A hand‑painted portrait becomes a treasured keepsake — far beyond a simple photograph.
Tailored to you: From the breed to the pose to the background, everything is customised. For Taz’s portrait I was asked to alter the collar detail — the client loved the result.
Framing & shipping covered: Your portrait can arrive either framed or unframed, anywhere in the UK. I handle the posting from my studio.
The Process
- You send photos (clear head‑shot + body pose are best).
- I create the portrait in gouache watercolour on board (or other medium as agreed).
- You approve the image, I complete any final touches + framing (if desired).
- I ship to your address, securely packaged and ready to display.
Who It’s For
- Dog‑lovers and families wanting to honour their pet in a meaningful way.
- Gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, or memorials.
- Anyone who appreciates fine art and wants a lasting homage to their faithful friend.
