So take those pictures now, even if you do not yet decide on a painting of your pet.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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. </font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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. </font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <h5 align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></h5> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" color="#362523"><em><strong>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.</strong></em></font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">We should have much tougher laws against the pollution of our rivers and fields, and stricter laws to protect these pressured animals.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#362523" size="3">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.</font></p> <p align="center"><b><font color="#362523" size="3" face="Papyrus">Pet Portraits of Special Pets Make Special Gifts</font></b></p> <p align="center"><img border="0" src="cartoons/duck_artist_paper_pup_trans.gif" alt="Remember, I need about 4 weeks to complete your pet portraits so don't delay.

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.
