'Norma Jean & Harlow'
Paintings in Oils on Canvas by Melanie Phillips

Pet Portrait Painting Information

Norma Jean and Harlow (Shih Tzu and English Bull Terrier) were commissioned by Suzanne from the United States, for her mum in 2009. The painting was 20 x 16 in oils on cotton canvas. I have added some stages of the portrait, a final scan of Norma Jean and Harlow along with a detail and the reference photos I used when painting the portrait. I have also enclosed a couple of emails Suzanne sent during and after the commission and some wonderful photos of the final painting framed. I hope you enjoy this page of information and if you would like to commission us to paint your pet don't hesitate to email us at any time.

The Pet Portrait Painting in Progress....

Photos are taken during the progress of the portrait in our studio. The lighting can change throughout the day which can account for colour differences between each stage.

Client Pet Portraits Reference Photos
The photos depicted below may vary in colour to the finished painting above. This can be due to the scanned oil painting being slightly different to the original or often clients give us more than one photo to work from i.e. one for the pose and another for colouring.

Melanie, I can't tell you how much my mom loved the painting - she thought you captured them perfectly. I told her that once she frames it we must take a picture to send to you. I can't thank you enough and look fwd to using you again in the future! Have a wonderful new year,
