Quite some time ago we had the pleasure of getting to know the very talented Melanie Phillips, Pet Portrait Artist. I guess it never occurred to us to feature Melanie and her artwork here because we instantly thought of her as a friend not just a fellow artist, but her work is really wonderful so we just had to share it with you here.
Melanie has been an established artist in the UK for over 13 years, specializing in highly detailed, traditionally hand painted, custom pet portraits. Inspired by a life-long love for animals, she does her dog portraits and cat portraits from clients’ photos in their choice of oils, or in pencil, and her also truly, talented husband, Nick, paints pet portraits in pastels.
All are incredibly detailed!
Melanie’s very prolific works and offerings also include creative montages, colored pencil portraits, and even animal logos. In fact she has over 300 works of art on her website, you should definitely visit her online galleries.
While you’re there, also check out what may be the coolest part of her very extensive site, “On My Easel.” There you’ll see Melanie’s current artwork in progress and get a behind-the-scenes look at her process. It’s really amazing!
In case you’re curious about the cost there is also a price list on her site and YES, Melanie accepts commissions world wide!
