About My Dog Portraits

Retriever Dog portrait

I’m so glad you’re taking the time to check out my gallery of dog portraits. You’ll find that most of the pieces here are commissioned works, along with a few personal projects where I’ve had fun experimenting with new materials.

I’ve been painting portraits for over thirty years, creating artwork that is life-like, detailed, and painterly. Every portrait is crafted over many hours using the best quality materials, using vibrant colors and tones that ensure a stunning likeness.

I work with a variety of mediums, including pastel, graphite pencil, colored pencil, watercolor, and oils on canvas. Enjoy browsing!

If you have any questions about the materials I use or want to know if a specific medium would be a good fit for your portrait, feel free to reach out! I’d be more than happy to help.

Your Experience is My Focus

I love hearing from my clients about how much they’ve enjoyed commissioning a dog portrait! The journey, from initial ideas to finally unwrapping the finished piece, is such a special and thrilling experience.

I always welcome your feedback, so don’t hesitate to drop me a message or leave a review on my Facebook page.
