When we finally got our first dog, we gained so much. A true friend to each individual family member. Barney is now nearly 12 and our sun, moon, and stars. He is with me each day in my studio, I know the bones of him, his routines and quirks as he knows us in return. This is what I aim to capture in all my paintings. The love and bond that is uniquely between human and canine.

How your painting Works…

Step 1:

It’s always best to begin this lovely process by emailing me with a couple of photographs of your dog. This way, I can check that I can paint your dog as there are one or two breeds that I struggle with. If you can add in your dogs age, breed (as much as you know it) and name - all the better. (Email Sam Here)

Step 2.

Between us we work out a timeline for your painting and chat suggested sizes according to your dog. It normally takes about 3-4 weeks for your painting to be ready to send home. A 50% deposit is taken here to secure your spot.

Step 3.

Once I begin painting, I send along photographs to make sure you are happy, talk suitable background colours and any tweaks. We also chat about framing options here too.

STEP 4

Your painting is ready to leave my studio. The second payment is paid and your dog is on his or her way home.

Terms and Conditions.

Timings

On completion of your checking out and purchasing your dog painting, your 4 week painting space begins immediately. Please make sure you are ready to go before purchasing ❤️

I like to give myself around 4 weeks to paint though sometimes it’s a faster process than this. This 4 weeks include preparation, painting, and a little drying time. Your painting will leave my studio touch-dry. Oil Paintings can take months to dry fully, but your painting will be delivered protected and ready to hang on your wall with instructions.

If you would like your painting in haste, please let me know when we first chat, I will always do my best to accommodate you.

I will make sure to keep my monthly painting spaces updated above.

As is the norm, as the artist, I get to keep the copyright of all art I create. You, of course, own the painting. I am happy to make greeting cards, thank you notes, and postcards of your painting. Best to chat this over with me.

I would love to use your painting (once you have approved it) to share on my social channels and add to my portfolio of paintings. Sometimes, these may be useful in the future for licensing, portfolio sales, or other reasons, but I will do my best to keep you informed along the way.

Postage

Delivery within the UK is included in your painting price.

Overseas delivery is available, please email me here for details - as an example, US postage is around £45.
