Commisioned Dog and Horse Portrait Paintings

Traditionally hand painted in Pan Pastels each horse and dog portrait is created entirely by hand using soft, velvety PanPastels. Each piece is painted from your cherished photographs, carefully interpreted to capture not just likeness, but the unique presence and personality of the animal. My style leans toward a blend of impressionism and realism rather than photorealism—brushstrokes and layered pastel work emphasize atmosphere, movement, and emotion over fine photographic detail. Subtle shifts of color and light give each painting a timeless, painterly quality, celebrating the spirit of the subject in a way that feels both intimate and expressive.

Further information

I will need clear photographs to paint from, but will do my best with what you have if your pet is sadly no longer with us. If your photographs are not very clear I will probably create a more impressionistic painting. Please see my terms and conditions for further details.
