Quality Pet Portraits

Painting animals and capturing their character and personality on canvas is a rare gift and pet portraits are a wonderful and lasting reminder of your loved ones. You can commission artwork to be produced from a good quality photograph and select the style you would like. We will then confirm the timescale (normally 2-3 weeks to delivery) and the price (the price is primarily based on the medium employed and the size of the work to be produced). Upon receiving your acceptance and having agreed terms, we will take a small deposit and the artist will begin work on your pet portrait, keeping you informed of progress along the way. You can see a selection of works already produced in our online gallery - simply browse this and other pages in our online gallery and select an artist you would like to produce your commission. If you would like us to help, you may send us by email a good quality photo of your pet, together with what sort of art you are looking to have produced (watercolor, oil painting etc) - from this we will happily try to recommend artists who will be able to carry out the commission for you.

As well as pet portraits, with more than 1,200 artists represented on the site, you can browse and buy from over 12,000 original works of art from a varied range of subjects and media. Many artists are willing to quote for other commission artwork and if you cannot find what you want our friendly and personalised finder service will help you identify just the works to suit your mood, environment and budget. South African art has a unique quality and passion that is a reflection of the energy and experience of this "Rainbow Nation". The political trauma and upheaval of recent decades has sought expression though the country's art which itself becomes the spiritual signature of its peoples. After years of political and geographic isolation, at last South African art is emerging onto the rest of the world and finding its own place with pride and exuberance. Still the artists struggle to eke out a living from their gifts and we, as art lovers, everywhere, can do our bit to help and support them.

We thank you for visiting the site and please join us in bringing the affordable art of South Africa to a wider audience!
