Tibetan Terrier Dog Portraits
Welcome to our **Tibetan Terrier Dog Portrait** of Lottie. This was a very special oil painting commission, as Lottie is a Tibetan Terrier—just like our own dog, Lily. There were a lot of similarities between them, which made this portrait especially close to our hearts. Read more about the commission below.

About the Commission of Lottie
Mike contacted us in 2020 via Messenger to ask if we could paint a portrait of his Tibetan Terrier, Lottie. Sadly, Lottie had recently passed away, and the family—including their other TT, Moses—missed her terribly. Mike later wrote:
“Thank you so much for our chat on Messenger earlier. I can't begin to tell you how therapeutic it was. I was looking online to find a dog portrait artist whose style I liked, and then when I found you too had a black TT it sealed the deal. Thank you again, Mike.”
Mike sent a wonderful collection of photos, and many reminded us of our own Lily. We eventually chose one showing Lottie on her red tartan blanket, which added a personal touch. Including beloved toys or bedding like this always brings extra meaning to a portrait.
Client Feedback
“Hi Melanie and Nicholas, it really is a stunning picture and captures her in her thinking pose. Hearing work had started, then getting previews and now the final picture has been lovely. I'm sure having her 'twin sister' there must have helped, as you know all their funny moods and how they're fairly scruffy dogs really. I can't wait to see the painting in real life. Thanks again, Mike”
“Hi Melanie, just to let you know the picture has arrived safely. I opened it up (I can see what you mean about all the packaging!) and it's gorgeous. The colour and detail are amazing. I'm so happy with it and now need to work out where to hang it. I'm also glad I chose you to frame it too—the quality and tones of the frame really complement the painting and make it feel much larger. Thank you again. Mike”
