Pet Commissions
PRICES & INFO
Your Pet Portrait Commission
Every Pet Portrait Commission takes over 33 hours...
...of meticulous work and dedication from artiste Pam Clingan. Each stroke is carefully crafted to bring out the unique spirit and character of your beloved pet. Witness the magic unfold as Pam transforms your 'Bestie' into a stunning masterpiece that you'll cherish forever.
Pam and her husband lost two cats in 2023. Aggy, who was 20 and Snowy (portrait right), the latter was a massive sudden shock and they were devastated; so Pam understands emotional attachments and what our pets mean to us.

FRAMING, CARE and HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
- Mounts and frames: best done by the recipient so they can choose their favourite mount colour and frame.
- Please do not let framer spray/lacquer the image as it will alter colours.
- Framed artwork requires mounts and a spacer to allow for any dust to drop into.
- Portraits need space around them so again please ensure framers leave plenty of space between image and the mount.
- Artwork should only be place behind glass, kept out of in direct sunlight and must have a mount to stop transfer onto the glass.
- Artwork should not be touched at all, as the work will be damaged. Please keep the specialist glassine paper on top (as it is sent to you) until framed by professional framer.
