Custom pet portraits by Diana Reynolds
Custom Portraits
So.... you’d love a custom portrait of you or your pet or pets or all of you!
DRD Portraits can create a custom, artistically created portrait which can be a detailed memento of a beloved pet and or a time in your life that you want immortalised in the traditional medium of portraiture. There are many different styles of portraiture, from abstract through to exacting realism so it is important to consider what your relationship with your pet means to you or what you wish portrayed about yourself in a portrait. Are you zany or moody? Is your pet gentle or madcap? Qualities in you or your pet deserve recognition in an insightful portrayal, don’t you think? Do you want a portrait of just head and bust, whole body or pets/ people in a particularly memorable background like this painting of a Cocker Spaniel and his companions?
Many artists do portraits which reflect their own personal style or vision of the ‘sitter,’ which may not be what you want! So working with DRD portraits to create a sensitive rendition of your pet or yourself is of primary importance.
Commissioned art to cherish.
Also much depends on the use you wish to make of your custom pet portraits – is it to be a traditional artwork for your wall? Perhaps a digital image that can be turned into a series of print-on-demand apparel? Or maybe the image is to be used for some commercial purpose? Or even a combination of these!

I love the portrait Diana painted of my beautiful Doberman Amber. The likeness took my breath away, as she captured the true nature and expression of my dog. It is really lovely to have a personal and unique art work that is close to my heart. I highly recommend Diana as a pet portrait artist. A. Mangan Sydney 2017

My son loved his Yorkie so much and was heartbroken when he died. Commissioning a perfect portrait of her helped him so much. He has it hanging near his bed. Jan Hallett 2016

I can't find words to describe what a joy it is to have such a playful portrait of our Blue Heeler. Now he’s an old dog and not so inclined to leap about as he did, so I enjoy looking at this gift. Thank you! David Browning 2014

Diana did a portrait of my beautiful Akita Tani Kuma. The likeness was amazing, soon after my Akita passed over from old age. Her portrait is hanging with pride on our wall. Diana captured her expression so well. It's truly life like. Thank you Diana for giving us a gift that we will always treasure. Natalie Kosseris, Kirrawee, NSW 2017
