An increasing number of people are asking Lorraine to paint their beloved dog in fancy dress! This style of painting breaks away from traditional ideas, and shows each pet in a highly personalised and eye-catching fashion.

Here are some of the popular search terms people use:

  • Pet Portraits as Royalty
  • Pet Portraits Dressed up
  • Pet Portraits in Costume
    Pet Portraits in Clothes
  • Pet Portraits in Uniform
  • Pet Portraits Jedi
  • Pet Portraits Queen
  • Pet Portraits King
  • Pet Portraits Renaissance
  • Pet Portraits As Viking
  • Pet Portraits Edwardian Style
  • Pet Portraits As Victorian

… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

There is a huge appetite for people to have their pets portrayed in particular styles, and wearing clothing from specific genres.

So, while making sure that the authenticity of the clothing can be clearly enjoyed, we must remember that these lovely animals are not with us for ever. In years to come, you’ll want to look at your painting and remember those facial expressions and the happiness of a wagging tail.

While painting your faithful canine friend in an outfit that reflects a desired effect, it’s important that the character of your dog shines through.

In a way, we are creating a parody, and a completely unnatural situation, as your dog has almost certainly never worn clothes in real life.
While we’re looking to have some fun and games with reality, perhaps it’s also a good idea to choose an outfit that is compatible with the breed and appearance of your dog.

When the paint is dry, and the pencils are back in their box, you will need to find a spot on a wall to place the artwork, where it can be seen and enjoyed. Although, some art lovers say that moving paintings around your home, can be a good way to get a fresh view and enjoy them more.

You will want to glance at your painting and smile with contentment, in the knowledge that if your dog could speak, you would receive confirmation that all was well.

In the absence of verbal acknowledgement, maybe the wag of a tail will do!
