Paintings of your Beloved Dogs, Cats,
Animals, People, Landscapes and Greeting Cards - All from Your Favourite
Photos
I love my pet portrait work,
but one of the saddest aspects is where an old pet has died and the owner has
no clear photo to remember their friend by, or, indeed, to create a pet
portrait memorial to their lost one. So take those pictures now, even if you
do not yet decide on a painting of your pet.
The happiest aspect of my work
is when my client has received their pet portrait and telephone or write to
let me know how delighted they are in spite of the tears over their lost
friend. Dog paintings, cat paintings and animal paintings make such special
and lasting gifts and such loving memorials to lost friends.
I know how it feels to lose a
beloved pet. Over the last 30 years I have lost some good pet friends and each
loss is as acute as the last. All our pets are unique little characters who
cannot be replaced. We can, however, hold their memories in our hearts.
We find that once again we can open the photo albums and recall the happy
times with our pets. Over the years in which I have been painting pets
professionally I have found pet portraits can bring great comfort to those who
have lost their dogs, cats, or other pets.
I have so many lovely letters
from my clients telling me how the portrait of their pet is now taking pride
of place in their home, and how they feel their pet's spirit is still with
them whenever they gaze at the painting. I think this is the loveliest part of
my work, although inevitably tinged with sadness.
So order your dog painting, cat
painting or animal painting now for that lasting tribute. Whether it is a dog
painting, cat painting, animal painting, landscape painting or greeting cards,
when they are created from photos of your beloved pets you will have unique
and loving mementos of your special friend. All my pet portraits and landscape
paintings are executed in oils on canvas or watercolours. I paint all pets and
all pets are welcome, whether they be rabbits, mice, guinea-pigs, hamsters,
horses, ponies, dogs, cats or birds of all kinds.
Many times I am asked to paint
scenes, cottages, farmhouses, railway signal boxes and people's own
homes. Whatever scene you have in mind, all I need is that crucial CLEAR
photo and you will have a special and lasting gift.
Whether it is a pet portrait or
painting of your own home you have in mind, don't leave it too late. I
need about 4 weeks to complete your painting so order as soon as possible.
I can also create greeting ,
christmas, birthday and anniversary cards from your pet dogs, cats, animals,
your home, children etc; from your CLEAR photos. Details can be seen on the
Greeting Card Page.
So, if you have no CLEAR
photos, get clicking and send your favourite photo to me for that pet portrait
painting. You will be delighted with the result.
I have a sheet of guidelines on
taking that photo for your pet portrait, if you are not sure. Just ask. - I
will put this page on my website as soon as possible.
Pet dogs, cats,
animals or any child or adult can be painted into the scene, even if they were
not in that particular photo. Many things are possible. If you have a special
request, just ask. If it is possible it can be done.
The welfare of this Earth's
wild creatures is something I feel very passionately about. We have done so
much harm to these fellow residents of our planet, who, of course, have as
much right to exist as humanity. Wild animals, including the smallest insect
have no less right to live out their natural lifespan as ourselves.
We should not attempt to turn
their wild habitats into pretty parks for our enjoyment. Nature is wild and
beautiful in its wildness. Wild animals need to be wild and free.
We cannot turn this, still
beautiful, Earth into a controlled, barren environment for the convenience of
just one of this world's creatures, ourselves. We can help these animals in
many ways, such as not mowing every piece of wild meadow near our towns. No
voles, hawks or butterflies can exist on a lawn. These animals need the
shelter of tall grasses to hide in and to feed from. Where there are no hiding
places, there are no wild creatures.
We should have much tougher
laws against the pollution of our rivers and fields, and stricter laws to
protect these pressured animals.
Imagine a world with only one
creature, the human being. What a dreadful place that would be. We must all do
our best to alleviate some of the harm man has done to this world and its
animal inhabitants.
I care very much about animal
welfare. Our companion creatures such as dogs, cats and other animals, rely
completely on the sympathetic consideration of their owners. Many dogs and
cats etc; are greatly loved and cherished by their doting human families. They
live out their lives in happiness and contentment, with all their needs,
physical and emotional tended to with deep affection.
However, there are so many
other poor animals, dogs, cats, horses, donkeys and others too numerous to
mention, who live their lives under the dark shadow of fear, pain, cold and
discomfort. Many are maimed or killed by callous, cruel or indifferent owners.
In this web of misery there are
many little candles glowing in the darkness. These are the numerous animal
rescue centres, some consisting of just one or two loving, compassionate human
beings. Some of these wonderful, caring people devote the whole of their lives
to alleviating the suffering of these dogs, cats and other oppressed animals.
They live on a knife-edge, never knowing where the money for that sick pet
just handed in to them, will come from. But, somehow, they carry on because of
their love for these poor dogs, cats and so many other animals.
There are also those marvellous
people who, for one reason or another, cannot take in the poor animals
themselves but either work for these rescue centres for free or contribute
towards the maintenance of the distressed animals in the care of these
compassionate organisations.

for a pet portrait of two or more pets, or any other subjects, on one
painting. Backgrounds can be altered to suit you. You can even take a
favourite photo of, say your dog or cat, and place your pet's image on a
background taken from another photo of a favourite place or spot. That lovely
photo of your dog or cat with the dustbins in the background can be
transformed. The dustbins removed and your pets portrait can have a beautiful
background of a special place. Click on the homepage button at the top of the
