My most popular commission request is to paint dog portraits in oils. I always enjoy doing these because I believe that every pet deserves a moment in the spotlight. My love for dogs is reflected in each of my paintings, and my clients regularly provide testimonials about how I have captured their pet’s character, emotion and spirit.
My paintings are created with high-quality oils on canvas, which adds richness, depth and texture to the work. I work closely with clients to understand what they want, which allows me to capture the unique personality of each dog, their breed and their environment. My clients supply the photographs that I work from and they have the option of choosing the size of the canvas or board, the background colour and the pose, ensuring that their painting is truly one-of-a-kind.
I have painted various breeds of dogs, from boxers, labradors or border collies, to French bulldogs. I can paint any dog breed; the main focus is on capturing the dog’s essence - their energy, character and temperament. I take pride in ensuring that my paintings look realistic, lively and soulful, bringing the dogs’ characters to life on the walls of my clients’ homes.
