Animal portraits
Starting by being asked by my friend's mum to paint a portrait of her Afghan hound over 20 years ago, this then led to many more commissions.
Prices start from £150 for a 20 x 20 cm canvas. Scroll down for more prices.
Please feel free to call me on 07983 247 662 to discuss your requirements or email me.
-
All I require is a high-resolution photograph of your pet.
-
Email the image to tikaviker_bloss@hotmail.com.
-
Please allow two weeks for completion of painting.
