David captured the essence of Jack perfectly.. I imagine his many years experience as a portrait photographer makes him unique in being able to capture those perfect moments which he is able to translate into a painting. We have lost our dear Jack so this amazing painting is very special to us.

What absolutely thrilled me about the painting that David produced was not simply that it was an extremely good likeness of our pet, but that it quite brilliantly captured Goose's gentle ex

Freddie - aged 6 months... just the funniest puppy to get to sit still! This puppy is Freddie... but she is a girl. Freddie is a mischevious little 'chewer' and all who meet her fall in love with her. |

I became an artist for pet portraits about three years ago after a life-long love of animals and painting, and a career as a photographer. I put down my camera and picked up a paintbrush and never looked back! The perfect portrait painting is not dissimilar to a photograph in that it must capture that essential character of the subject be that a human, dog portrait, cat portrait, horse portrait or even hamster! I have painted portraits of many pets for many occasions such a birthday gifts
A pet portrait painting just like your pet, is an individual entity and when creating one I look closely for those distinguishing features that make us all unique. |
