Pet Portraits in Oils and Watercolours
Murray - My current own project (4ft x 4ft)
Some of you may have seen Murray at May Day Steam Rally. He will be at Flookbugh and Great Eccelston this year, so I'm hoping to have his portrait finished and with me at these events.

David's Story
I have always had a flair for painting and drawing. From an early age I attended local art clubs and visited artists studios to learn techniques in every medium possible. Whilst at school, I also enjoyed engineering drawing, which led to a 5-year college study in technical and natural history illustration. On leaving college, I produced a number of airbrush artworks for Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach and worked for an advertising company. From starting as a paste-up artist, to eventually working in partnership in a design agency, my true talent and gift as a painter became obsolete. Finally, the business could not compete with the much bigger print houses, so in 2000 I opted to work in education, passing on my experience to others.
In 2004 there was a new member to my household. ‘Jake’ the Golden Labrador. I decided to get my brushes out, buy some new artist supplies and produce an oil painting. Even my close friends did not believe that I had painted such a lifelike portrait; they didn’t even know I could paint at all! From this one painting a number of orders from friends and family started to arrive. I had found that there is a market for this type of art. But how do you find potential clients? Agricultural Shows and Steam Rallies were all outdoor events with large trade and craft stalls to exhibit my work, bringing in visitors and their pets. Together with developing an online gallery, these have given me a good platform in which to promote my work.
