PET PORTRAITS FROM PHOTOS
BY CLAIRE DALE
Welcome to Painting Memories, the home of myself, Claire Dale, an oil painter and artist from West Sussex. I specialise in creating pet portraits from photos, giving you the chance to have your pet immortalised in paint, or to create a thoughtful gift for a loved-one that will stand the test of time.
Whether you have a cat, dog, or other subject in mind, I will hand-paint them to capture their personality, nature, and charm, and then safely deliver the completed portrait to you, or an address of your choice. Get in touch with me here to get started.
As a local artist with over 20 years of experience, I specialise in creating stunning oil paintings of your beloved pets. Working from my cosy garden art studio in Worthing, West Sussex, I create timeless pet portraits from photos of your treasured friends. My passion is capturing the unique spirit and personality of each pet, so every portrait I paint for you will be beautiful memory you'll treasure forever.

Hello Claire, It's Rosie here. I just wanted to thank you so very much for the beautiful painting of Daisy and Bertie for my Special birthday, it is absolutely fabulous and I am over the moon with it. You have captured the very essence of them both and got the colouring and the features spot on. I really can't thank you enough. We are going to get it mounted and framed and I can't it to see it hanging pride of place in the house.

Dear Claire, We are absolutely delighted with this painting of our six year old black Labrador, Winston. Claire has managed to capture his fun loving personality and bring life to the painting, which now enjoys pride of place in our living room. Claire's amazing attention to detail has been commented on by many guests to our house. I cannot recommend Claire's work highly enough. We feel very lucky to have been able to commission her. All the best.

Many thanks for the amazing painting. You really brought the photo to life especially the eyes and not to mentioned his fluffiness.
LANCE
Pet portraits are an immensely satisfying endeavour. I am well aware how much joy creating a pet portrait from a photo can bring to someone, and by using oils in a creative and innovative way. I find oil painting is the ideal medium for an animal portrait, because it allows me to capture the subtle changes of colour in fur, as well as giving wonderful accuracy in the eyes, where the essence of the pet can really be captured.
