For many people pets are family members and beloved friends. Pictures of animals have a natural appeal, and pets make wonderful subjects for art work.

What better gift for a relative or close friend than a portrait of their pet?

Can you find a photograph of the animal that really captures their character - perhaps featuring a cheeky expression you love, or that tuft of hair that just won't lie down?

Animal artist Jenny Coates can draw you a beautiful pet portrait in pencil, coloured pencil or chalk pastel, on a background to suit your preference.
