Latest Commissioned Portrait
This handsome boy is Pilot who came to collect his portrait this week. While I usually stick to a square format of 40cm x 40cm, Pilot’s family knew exactly where they wanted his portrait to hang and so I painted his portrait to fit the space. I’m always happy to oblige if clients want something …
Happy Customer!
This handsome boy is Ash, collecting his portrait from our Sidmouth shop yesterday. I think he likes it!

Paintings of Sidmouth
I really enjoyed painting this large canvas (100cm x 70cm) of Jacob’s Ladder, Sidmouth. It left the shop yesterday but we do have giclée prints available.
Commission a Dog Portrait
When commissioning a portrait of two dogs together, people often worry that they don’t have a photograph where both dogs are looking good. This portrait of adorable spaniels Millie and Poppy was taken from two separate photographs so, as you can see, it’s not a problem!
Pet Portrait Commissions
Christmas 2020 was a busy time for me with pet portrait commissions but I haven’t been able to post any until I was sure they had been gifted. Now that I can, here is Dodger the Cockapoo.
