Memorial portraits, painted from your photo
Small Goodbyes

Pet portrait · UK · from £59

A painted portrait of your pet, from the photo you send.

30 × 40cm matte canvas, slim FSC wood stretcher. 19th-century oil painting style, warm earth tones, painted-style rendering drawn from your photograph. Printed locally in the UK.

Commissioned pet portraits from a working artist in the UK typically start around £200 and take eight to twelve weeks. That's a long time to wait with a photo sitting on a desk. We've built the faster, considered alternative, a painted-style pet portrait illustrated by AI and reviewed by a human, printed on matte canvas, arriving in about a week.

What the canvas looks like

We render your photo in the style of a 19th-century oil portrait, soft natural light, painterly brushwork, warm earth tones (cream, moss-green, muted rose, stone), neutral background. Shoulders-up composition, alert, eyes to camera. No cartoons, no templates, no costumes. The painting reads as a painting, not a photograph.

Materials and specifications

Sizes and framing

The standard canvas is from £59. Larger sits from £79. For a gallery-ready, pre-framed finish in solid wood, see our framed canvases, from £109.

What we don't do

We don't invent pets. We don't stitch together "memory portraits" of pets you never photographed. We don't take cartoon themes, your dog won't become a Renaissance king in a ruff collar. If the canvas comes back looking unlike them, you tell us, and we rework it at no cost. If a printed canvas arrives damaged or misprinted, we reprint and reship, you keep the original.
