Custom Dog Portraits - The Best Gift to Cherish Your Dog’s Unbreakable Bond
It has become quite popular in recent years to commission a custom dog portrait, and I am proud to create these timeless works of art for customers across the UK and beyond. The majority of my custom dog portraits are created using high-quality professional pastels, ensuring vibrant colours and intricate detail. I also offer professional framing for most of my pieces, so your portrait arrives ready to hang and perfectly complement your home décor.
My dog paintings are available in a variety of sizes, and I offer both framed and unframed options to suit your preferences. Whether you choose a large, statement piece or a more modest size, each portrait is crafted with the same attention to detail and care. I work from photos that clients supply, ensuring the likeness and personality of the dog are captured in the most authentic way. These photos can be in digital form or physical prints—whatever works best for you. If necessary, I’m happy to assist with choosing the best photo to bring out the character of your dog.
No matter the breed, a custom dog portrait is a truly special and thoughtful gift that makes for an unforgettable present for family and friends. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate the joy and love that a pet brings into our lives, preserving their memory in a way that lasts a lifetime.
For those who want to give the gift of a portrait but leave the details to the pet owner, I also offer Gift Vouchers. These allow the recipient to choose the pose, portrait size, and style, ensuring they get exactly what they envision. Whether it’s a gift for a birthday, anniversary, or special occasion, a custom dog portrait is a perfect way to show your love and appreciation for both the pet and their owner.
Hand Painted Dog Portraits
From my studio, I create pet portraits in pastel for customers across the UK and internationally, bringing their beloved pets to life in timeless, fine art. Most of my customers commission a classic-style portrait of their dog, as this style remains one of the most cherished and enduring ways to celebrate a pet’s unique character. My custom dog portraits are created from your favorite photos, capturing not just the likeness but the very essence of your dog’s personality and spirit.
Providing a high-quality photo that showcases your dog’s features and personality is ideal for creating a detailed, true-to-life portrait. A sharp, well-lit photo allows me to see subtle details, like the sparkle in their eyes, the texture of their fur, or the unique expressions that make your dog so special. However, I understand that sometimes the perfect photo may not be available, especially in the case of memorial dog portraits. Whether due to age, illness, or unexpected loss, it’s not always possible to capture a high-resolution image. In these situations, I work closely with you to bring your cherished memories to life, combining artistic skill and sensitivity to honor your dog’s legacy in the most heartfelt way.
A custom dog portrait is more than just art—it’s a keepsake that celebrates your bond, preserves precious memories, and immortalizes your dog in a way that will be cherished for years to come. Whether it’s a living companion or a beloved dog who has crossed the rainbow bridge, each portrait is crafted with care, love, and attention to detail.
I am always happy to look through all the photos that are available to me, and in many cases, I will work with whatever I have to ensure the final portrait truly captures your dog’s personality. Whether the photos are from different angles or moments in time, I believe that each one tells a part of your dog’s story. Through collaboration with my customers, and by collecting ideas and inspiration from their photos, I do my best to create a custom portrait that’s not only unique but deeply personal. The goal is always to create something that you’ll treasure for years to come, a portrait that reflects the bond you share with your dog.
While most of my commissions are for classic-style dog portraits, I also receive occasional requests for something a bit more playful and imaginative. Custom dog art with a humorous twist can be a delightful way to celebrate a pet’s personality. These portraits often involve adding fun accessories like hats, bowties, or even quirky clothing that adds a humorous touch. Some clients love the idea of giving their dog a human-like personality—whether it’s a sophisticated look or a funny, quirky character. These portraits can often tell a story, making them a unique and memorable piece of art. If you have a particular vision in mind, feel free to reach out to me, and I will gladly discuss whether I can bring that idea to life.
Additionally, if you’d like your dog to be placed in a specific environment, I’m always up for a challenge. Whether you imagine your dog in a vibrant meadow, by the seaside, or curled up comfortably on a soft, cosy blanket, I can create a portrait that suits your vision. I understand how important the background can be in bringing the portrait to life and adding depth to the overall composition. It’s all about creating a piece of art that not only honours your dog but also tells a visual story that’s meaningful to you. No matter the concept, I am committed to bringing your ideas to life, ensuring the portrait is just as you imagine.
If you would like to commission a multiple pet portrait I would not expect you to provide me with a photo where all your pets are sitting nicely next to each other. Working with the multiple pet portraits I usually would collect as many images as I can, so I can create the right composition and then will combine them in one painting. Prior to starting painting I would do a Photoshop mock-up image with selected photos. So my customer could see where the pets are positioned, if any adjustments are needed I will work on it more and only when my customer is happy with the idea on the Photoshop image I will start working on the pet painting.
