Pet Portraits by Melanie

Publications

Over the years I have had my work published in a variety of magazines and media. I am always open to contributing towards any publication, either as part of an artist feature or to supply images for projects.

My most recent media release was to have the opportunity to be on the community of artists pages on the Windsor and Newton website. I have been using their artisan paints for a number of years, and also teach them in the Pet Portrait Diploma course. It is wonderful to have the opportunity of working more closely with the manufacturer and help out where I can. They often get asked about their paints and so to have access to artists who use the medium is helpful for them.

Below are a variety of other articles and publications. I really need to re scan a lot of them as they are all on the small side - one of the many jobs in waiting!

I used three dogs I knew personally for this project. The spaniel belonged to one of my clients I have become friendly with. I have since donated some pieces of work for their spaniel charity for a fundraiser, which went really well.

The Alsatian and the jack Russell were one of my neighbours dogs, sadly the Jack Russell ‘spot’ has since passed however she still has the portrait i painted of him and a bottle of seven seas too!
