Every portrait begins with a connection.

A brush adds detail to an oil portrait
The artistic approach

More than a likeness.

We plan the composition together from your photographs, with care for the details that make your pet recognisable. You approve the digital mock-up before I begin and receive photographs as your painting takes shape.
