Pet Portraits Hampshire
Rosemarie lives on a farm in Hampshire and her studio overlooks paddocks where palomino pony Pablo grazes. Missy, her terrier sits behind her chair as she paints her pet portraits. It is wonderful being an artist and being close to animals, I love it here, to love animals and to paint their portraits is for me, job satisfaction.
I started pet portraits in 1979 and my busiest time is the run up to Christmas, I think a portrait of your pet as a present must be the best gift of all, it is something you can keep forever and in a way immortalizes your beloved dog, cat or horse. I have even painted the portraits of tortoises and guinea pigs and hedgehogs for people, a prize Jacob ram and some Highland cattle and some unusual breeds of cats and dogs. I have never painted a snake, but I would if asked!
