BESPOKE DOG COMMISSIONS

1. SINGLE DOG PORTRAITS

It’s hard to talk about my dog paintings in generic terms without putting myself into a box—along with your painting! Many moons ago, I used to have rigid sizes and set prices. Now, I take on far fewer commissions so I can spend more time on every canvas, ensuring each piece is entirely distinct.

What I can say about my single dog paintings is this: they are typically sized anywhere from 20 × 20cm to 50 × 40cm, painted in oil on board or fine canvas. These pieces tend to focus closely on the face and chest rather than the full body, capturing that single, true expression.

• Pricing: From £980

• Framing: Framing can be arranged for you. Many of my clients like me to oversee this step—I work with a wonderful local framer in Suffolk who knows my work inside out. Framing is billed separately, and I’m happy to provide quotes and options as your painting nears completion.

• Delivery: UK delivery is included in the price. (Overseas shipping calculated upon enquiry).

2. LARGER PAINTERLY CANVASES

I had to think long and hard about what to call these pieces, but in the end, I used exactly what they are: larger, more painterly canvases.

These paintings are scaled up (typically up to 80 × 60cm, though sometimes larger or smaller depending on the space) and encompass the full body of your dog.

Working on a grander scale gives the paint room to breathe, allowing for more freedom, bold mark-making, and dynamic composition.

The black Labrador here is a 60 × 80cm canvas capturing a hound mid-walk. It has an impact that simply isn't possible on a smaller surface.

Larger Painterly Canvases offer more scope for your dog’s character and spirit to come through, whilst also creating a striking focal point on your wall at home.

• Pricing: From £2,200

• Framing can be arranged easily. Please see delivery details for overseas orders

3. A Family of Portraits

Recently, I’ve been painting connected collections for families—creating multiple portraits that belong together, yet stand beautifully on their own.

This is a wonderful way to honor your family dog(s) while gifting something truly special to family members.

Typically, we create larger signature works for the main house, alongside smaller framed works for sons or daughters to take with them as they set up their own homes and apartments.

The paintings here are for a family that wanted a group of three to hang together, and two individual paintings for thier daughters.

While each painting is a completely original composition with its own pose and character, they are all bound together by color, texture, and feeling, and of course, family.

• Pricing: From £950 per painting

4. MULTI-DOG CANVASES

‘Every Dog I Have Ever Loved’

(COMING SOON — AUTUMN 2026)

These paintings are born from a simple idea: bringing a lifetime of memories together by placing every dog you and your partner have ever loved onto one single canvas.

I am so excited to bring you these grand legacy paintings. They are designed to gather all the dogs you have ever loved onto a single canvas—altogether.

These are deeply personal pieces that have the ability to bridge two lives. We can bring together every dog you and your partner have ever loved - from childhood dogs and companions from your past, right alongside the hounds resting in it’s basket today.

Together, we’ll decide how they interact on the canvas: awake and playful, or snoozing quietly after a long walk.

I can work from old, fuzzy photographs or even simple verbal descriptions as we sketch our way into bringing your dogs back to life on canvas. The number of dogs is unlimited and discussed between us; it could be two, could be ten.

Because of the scale and detail involved in these are large works of art, I only accept four of these canvases per year.

• Pricing: Approximately £950 per dog

• Availability: Booking opens Autumn 2026. It’s best to register your interest for one of these paintings, and I’ll be in touch soon.
