HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY TO ME 🎁 🥳

4 years ago my journey with pet portraits began!

Beautiful Sacha was terminally ill when I gifted this portrait to Victoria Vix Van Middel.

That’s when Sacha & Friends began. 100 pets later and every portrait brings me, and the recipient, so much joy.

I am completely self taught and every portrait literally happens!

Why not commission a portrait. All I need is a photograph.

Portraits start at £75 (A4 size 1 pet) but to celebrate this milestone, get yours for £60. (Quote SACHA4)

Here’s some recent portraits that have brought Andrea Clare and her special customers joy!

This was an experiment that worked!

My first ever watercolour pet!

I waited 2 years before I picked up watercolours again and painted Sacha.

I’m so pleased I did because I’ve enjoyed painting 100 pets since.

But, more importantly, I’ve witnessed the joy that my portraits have brought!

Now I’ve challenged myself to paint a pet a week after I turn 60 this week!

£55 per portrait (1 pet). DM for info.

MY FIRST EVER ‘PET PORTRAITS’

This was our boxer dog Duke, who my Dad rescued from the RSPCA.

It was a complete surprise; I remember meeting him in the garden for the first time and not knowing if he was ours. I was so excited! He was very mischievous but I loved my canine companion. We had so many adventures together!

I’m not sure which portrait came first but I was about 13 when I sketched these. The pen and ink one took a matter of minutes.

My Mum and Dad appreciated them but, apparently, I wasn’t very good at art!

How ironic that since 2022 I’ve painted almost 100 pets, and I’ve loved creating every single one!

The moral of the story: believe in yourself and don’t let anyone say you can’t!

I’m delighted to say that my pet portraits always evoke positive emotions, as well as happy tears 😊❤️
