All of the paintings you see on our blog are commissions from clients worldwide. We traditionally hand paint or draw every pet portrait ourselves. There's no digital trickery involved! We start by drawing out the image by hand and follow on with painting in oils, pastel or in pencil and you can follow each stage we make here on the blog on a daily basis.

Hi all,
Its Christmas eve and I hope that everyone is ready for Christmas. To reflect on this year, for us it has just flown by. I hope that you have all enjoyed it as much as we have. I think this is the hardest we have ever worked, its been our busiest year with portraits and we are keeping our fingers crossed that next year is as prosperous. With all the news with these long running shops and stores closing down (in the Uk) it doesn’t seem as though anyone is safe. So I wish you all the very best of luck for your ventures and work in 2009.
I normally adapt one of my portraits to give it a festive feel for my last post for Christmas, however I just haven’t had time this year. So I have added a festive-ish photo of the front of our cottage instead. We now have the new front door installed and we love it and its so much better than the old one. The door is quite large, especially compared to our dinky windows, and we had to have it custom made. I’m not quite sure why the old welsh cottages had wide doors, especially on a small cottage, perhaps something we need to research!
Anyway, I wish you all a very Happy Christmas, have a wonderful festive season and no doubt I will blog after Christmas at some point. Eat, drink and be merry!! Enjoy! : )
