My Pet Painted pet portraits are painted from your photograhps, on double-primed stretched canvas. They are painted with artist quality professional winsor & newton oil paints, which offer the most lustrous color and texture. Your painting will last for generations and will increase in value as time passes, not that you would ever want to sell your painting but a nice thing to know in this day and age of disposable, depreciating consumer goods.

Greg's style of painting is best described as "Painterly", not all details are meticulously laboured over but a fresh and expressive application of paint and attention to details in the crucial areas creates a vibrant and contemporary image that best captures your companions spirit.

It requires a little patience on your part as a fine quality oil painting can take anywhere between 2 weeks and 2 months to complete. Please feel free to email or phone Greg in that time to get an update on your paintings progress. Click here to see the latest Delivery Times for estimations for the delivery of your painting.
