Finally finished the spitfire shark drill casing. How's that for a bite?!

I've been commissioned to paint a spitfire-style shark on a drill casing. It's a new one here but I've accepted the challenge! Here's day one, laying the base coats. Keep watching for the big bite!

A recently finished portrait of a lovely chocolate Labrador called "Poppy".

Sam captured Poppy so well. The care taken and level of detail is just superb. Poppy really 'Pops' off the canvas. Thanks so much.

It has been a somber week here at Paws in Time portraits. Sadly I lost 9 rabbits to a viral outbreak. It was time for a bit of therapy painting today. One for each of my rabbits x

"Riley"
Testimonial by owner of Riley:
I have seen many good pet portraits before but Sam has managed to completely capture the personality of our dog and it gives me great pleasure, especially since he is sadly no longer with us, every single time I look at it - thank you so much xx

Review from the Jack Russell acrylic on blue background:

We are so delighted with the painting of our handsome boy “Tony”.Sam has done an absolutely amazing job of catching him. Her attention to detail is outstanding. She even caught the twinkle of mischief in his eye. It is so real looking, it's as if she had him in the room and not drawn from an image.Very happy and cannot wait to show it off.

My recently finished painting of our friends dog. The owners sent lots of photos but this pose was the best by far!

Simple if not perfectly cute. My 18 rabbits were the inspiration for this.

Who doesn't love the velveteen rabbit? My favourite story of all time. I have to thank my kids for this, if it wasn't for them, I'd never have read it. Thanks for the bedtime stories xx

We were both very emotional and speechless when we saw the picture. The detail in the art work is amazing so life like. We miss Ronnie so much and we can't thank Sam enough

I have been an avid crafter and artist for as long as I can remember, and come from a long line of painters. I have a lot to live up too!
In 2021, after suffering a pet bereavement, I picked up my paint brushes and started painting as a kind of therapy. Since then, I have discovered a love for painting detailed acrylic portraits of beloved pets.
I have had family and friends encouraging me to offer commission portraits, so here I am.
I work on stretched or panel canvas as standard, using high quality acrylics. Prices depend on size of canvas required, number of pets and type of background.
Please contact me via whatsapp or fb for more information.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.
Sam.

Nothing brings me greater pleasure in my studio than getting new brushes
