Claire's Pet Portrait Gallery

Here's a small sample of my recent work, you'll find more on page 2 and page 3. Click any image to display a larger version, then move your mouse to view the arrows to enable you to move through the gallery.

I often get asked if my pictures are photographs - the answer is an emphatic no! What you see here are all photos of my watercolour portraits.

These watercolour paintings of people's pets will give you a flavour of some of my most recent portraits. Most are commissions but some I do for my own enjoyment, such as the hare and the goats.

All are photographed and then painted in my studio. The ones you
see here are photographs of the portraits, so in real life the background colours are a little whiter and crisper.

Most of my watercolour pet portraits are of people's dogs, cats and horses but I am painting an increasing number of cows and assorted farm animals which I really love doing. I also love to paint sea scenes.

I take great pleasure building up my gallery of portaits, which I hope you will revisit from time to time - and please tell your friends about my site. Just imagine your favourite pet here one day! Comments and thoughts are always welcome - please feel free to get in touch.
