by Margaret Create your order now

Commemorate your pet with a truly one-of-a-kind watercolour portrait.

Everything you love about your pet is reimagined in soft, sweeping brush strokes and splashes of colour. Request a scenic background or have your portrait as per your photo.

You’ll be in awe of how your artist is able to accurately capture your pet’s physical features with just a few delicate strokes of a brush. Vivid watercolours add soul to ordinary portraits and a classically beautiful work of art that would be just as at home in a historic art museum as on your wall.

The Artist

I love the versatility of watercolour, letting the colours mix on the paper and dropping in water to suggest the texture of fur. I’m a full time artist based in the south west of England. I’ve been painting pets for 15 years. I’m proud to have been selected for the Royal Birmingham Society of Arts Portrait exhibition.
