all portraits are ready for framing

Each dog picture is carefully crafted by hand
from high quality professional artists materials for best results that will last many generations.
all dog art captures your pets photo showing the likeness and character of your pal in stunning detail from eyes (which it is said are the windows to the soul ) to nose and mouth giving your dog its unique expressions you love.
your pets coat is drawn or painted as in your picture copying the detailed texture of shadow and highlights and colour that make your dog unique.
Great care is taken to ensure accuracy to photo is maintained throughout
but please remember that it will look lifeless unless it has the magic of artistic expression given by the artist in every dog or puppy portrait artwork from your special photographs.
Every canine painting or drawing is unique
so you need to provide a good clear photograph that shows all the detail you wish in your special artwork.
I need to be able to see all the detail clearly to paint or draw it properly, so fuzzy out of focus pictures will not give the good results you would be expecting and I need to see all photos to ensure they are suitable to produce an artwork of high standard that you will love in your home.
