Celebrate Your Love with Custom Pet Portraits This Valentine's and Galentine's

As we approach Valentine’s Day, it's the perfect time to show those we love just how much they mean to us. And what better way to do that than with a custom pet portrait?

As a pet portrait artist based in Glasgow, I have the joy of capturing the personalities of beloved pets through my pastel pencil artwork. Whether it's your own furry companion, a friend's pet, or even a cherished memory of a pet who has passed, a personalised portrait is a meaningful and lasting gift that speaks from the heart.

The Gift of Original Art: Why Custom Pet Portraits Make the Best Valentine's or Galentine's Gift

Valentine’s isn’t just for romantic relationships; it’s also the perfect time to celebrate the unique bonds we share with our pets and loved ones—whether they're family, friends, or companions. As a true pet lover, you know how special the connection is with our furry friends, so why not capture that love in an art piece that will last a lifetime?

My custom pet portraits are created with care, using high-quality pastel pencils that bring out the vibrant textures and colours of each pet's coat, eyes, and unique features. Each portrait is a one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn piece, tailored to the individual pet. I work closely with my clients to ensure that every detail reflects their pet’s character and charm.

A Personal Touch: Art Prints and Greeting Cards for Valentine's and Galentine's Day

If you're looking for a more affordable or smaller gift, I also offer art prints and greeting cards featuring my original pet portraits. These are ideal for sending a heartfelt note to a fellow pet lover, or as part of a Galentine’s Day celebration with friends who share your love for animals. Imagine gifting a cute, pet-themed greeting card with a personalised touch that speaks to the love you feel for both your pets and those you hold dear.

How It Works: Ordering Your Custom Pet Portrait

It’s easy to create the perfect gift for Valentine's or Galentine's! Here’s how the process works:

  1. Get in Touch: Reach out to me via email or through my website. I’ll ask for a few high-quality photos of your pet (preferably close-ups to show details of their face and fur).
  2. Choose Your Style: You can choose from different sizes, backgrounds, and framing options to make the portrait truly yours.
  3. Creation: I’ll work my artistic magic using pastel pencils to craft a portrait that highlights your pet’s personality.
  4. Delivery: Once the portrait is complete, I’ll carefully package it and ship it to you. If you’re ordering for a Valentine’s or Galentine’s gift, I can also include a custom greeting card to make it even more special.

Whether you’re looking for a large, framed portrait to hang proudly on the wall or a set of charming greeting cards that celebrate your pet's character, I’m here to make your vision come to life.

Why Choose a Pastel Pencil Pet Portrait?

Pastels are a fantastic medium for capturing the softness and texture of a pet's fur, while also offering vibrant, lifelike colours that pop. Unlike digital art or photographs, a hand-drawn portrait feels personal and organic, creating an emotional connection between the viewer and the artwork. It's a timeless gift that can be passed down for generations.
