Sorry to hear about the doggy

Robert Shirt did a wonderful painting of our Lola dog for my other halfs Christmas present a while back, I was so pleased that I then got one done of mum's horse for her birthday! Desperate for him to do one of my boy too, will get that as the next one, every picture he does he puts so much time and effort in, I got regular emails from him to show me the stage he was at and make sure I was happy, and he was just a lovely guy all round and fantastic prices. Would always recommend him to anyone! If you google Robert Shirt i'm sure he will come up

There are plenty of artists out there who do wondeful work, I suppose it depends on how much you are prepared to spend.

Aron Gadd is brilliant : http://www.arongadd.co.uk/

Lucy Turmaine - she's on FB. She's doing a portrait of our two schnauzer crosses for hubby's christmas present, and it looks absolutely wonderful. She's captured them beautifully. http://www.lucyturmaine.co.uk

Try Sandy Lipman ... her website is http://artysand.co.uk/
She did a fabulous pastel of my horse but I think she said her last orders for Christmas were a couple of weeks ago - but you might be lucky

Take a look at Photo Finish on FB. Its not drawings but actual photo editing. They've done lots of dogs and horses and they have a £10 per edit offer on till the end of this week.

A lot of their stuff is ghastly! Maybe suitable for people who can't get a telegraph pole out of a photo but as a substitute for a piece of art, especially as a gift which is also a memoriam for a much-loved pet? No!

I actually love their work and have ordered some myself. Each to their own I suppose!
