Paint my House

Dogs, horses, houses, cats... I paint commissions for people who love the things in their world. My name is Richard Carman, and I am an artist.
(5)

I am based in the UK, and have been selling paintings and commissions for many years. I have been featured on UK TV many times, in my own series "A Brush With the Mersey", on BBC2's "Restoration", ITV's "Locks and Quays" and on Channel 4's "Watercolour Challenge". The first paintings I ever sold were of people's houses local to where I lived as a student, of local pubs, farm houses and businesses.

Since then I have painted all over the world, from Cape Town to Copenhagen, Barbados to Beirut. I post most of my stuff here, but if you like Instagram I'm at www.instagram.com/richard_carman_artist and if web sites are your thing you can do www.richardcarman.com

I've painted George before. But, as planned for a while, I've started painting BIG.

This allows me to:
a). paint really big statement portraits, or
b). paint life-size portraits of any breed.
Please with this so far - I'll post again when he's finished.

This enormous beastie is - as you can tell from his expression - called Stanley. Isn't he a cracker? He's painted in acrylic on paper.

So good...

Here's Archie (acrylic on paper). Now, I really enjoyed painting Archie. I've not done a labrador for quite a while. Doesn't he look a good boy?

I'll be launching a new price list soon, unless you're "already in the system", so if you'd like to benefit from having your creature immortalised at today's price not tomorrow's, let me know now and we can get you sorted out.

I'm not going to tell you his name (he's a surprise gift), but he works cattle for a living. As you do. Acrylic on paper.

You get a dog in your life. For you, you get a best friend for ten, twelve, fifteen years. For the dog, it's their most important relationship with anyone, and it lasts for their whole life.

Here's Snoop and Duke, two happy and engaged otterhounds painted on canvas. Be the person your dog thinks you are.

If a dog lives with you for 16 years, you'll have approximately 5,844 happy days. And one sad one. If I paint your dog's portrait for you, you'll remember the former much more than the latter.

I love painting border terrorists - so much hair, such expressive faces. Here's a little video of some of the BTs I've painted over the last couple of years, some small, some big, including little Rocco, who came to a very sad end. Hope you like...

An updated version of my film of Lancashire heeler portraits. Hope you like. I'm here if you need me... :)

I got an app to make timelapse videos. I was already half way through this girl (I'd done the face) when I got the app. It's a bit grainy, and I'm going to do the whole painting on film, so I'll post that, but hope you like this so far.

Meet me on the corner...
