Dog Portraits From Photos

Having a dog as a companion for most of my life, I know how much love they give and how much we love them. They are our best friend. They remain loyal and true to us. I couldn’t imagine not having my dog by my side whilst I work.

Over the last twenty years, dog portraits have been the most requested of all my pet portraits. I have painted so many different breeds over the years as well as hundreds of our lovely crossbreeds. Every dog is unique and has a personality of their own. It is important to me that my dog portraits not only capture the likeness of your dog but capture the very essence of their personality too.

Clients have even told me that other pets in the house go up to the portrait of a recently passed pet that I have painted wagging their tail recognizing their lost friend.

The following are just a small selection of my dog portraits. I post more examples of my pet portraits on my Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Dog Portraits – Reviews

We were absolutely delighted with our portrait of Nala, our daughter’s dog. We couldn’t get over how life like it really looked, amazing! It is a beautiful portrait and made a wonderful 30th birthday present.
Thank you so much Lorraine.

Lorraine was recommended to me by a friend. I was looking for a local artist to commission a very special pet portrait for a friend who has recently lost her beloved dog. It was a big ask trusting someone else with a portrait of a pet that’s not your own! Lorraine could not have been more helpful or sympathetic. She ensured the whole process was quick and easy for me to manage remotely. Her regular updates were reassuring and WOW when we saw the final portrait… it was just amazing!! Lorraine handled everything including the framing. She truly deserves her 5 stars!! Highly recommend.

From start to finish Lorraine has been exemplary. Having found her from Google reviews myself I’m thrilled to add to the list of 5 stars. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful drawing of Moose our German Short Haired Pointer, we couldn’t have hoped for a better portrait, the resemblance is truly astonishing! We look forward to adding to your workload with another commission soon!

Lorraine’s artwork has been exquisite… she managed to capture a friend’s pup perfectly in likeness and character! And she kept us updated through the process and the portrait was completed and posted within agreed timeframes.

If anyone is going to get a portrait of there beloved pets I would recommend Lorraine Gray 100% as she got our beloved Shelties to a tee, two of our Shelties have gone to doggy heaven and two still with us. And I would like to thank Lorraine Gray again for the portrait.

Lorraine is the best artist we have ever dealt with. She has done 4 portraits of pets we and my partners daughter have lost. The likeness in the portraits is outstanding which to us we could just put our hands in a stroke our beloved pets. We will continue to use Lorraine for many years to come.
