Commissions
Commission a Proper Painting – Crafted with Skill, Warmth and Heart
A custom artwork of your pet, a loved one or a special place — hand-painted with traditional skill and a modern, fresh feel – made to last a lifetime.
There are plenty of cheap portraits out there. But if you’re looking for something more — a painting with heart, depth and craftsmanship — I’d love to create it for you.
I bring over 50 years of painting experience and 26 years as a professional tattoo artist to every piece I create. I work in traditional realism, using confident colour, light and form to bring life and personality to the subjects people love most.
Owning a one-of-a-kind painting is different. It’s not just decoration — it’s a conversation starter, a personal keepsake and a way to honour the people, pets and places that matter to you.
Whether it’s a tribute to a much-missed dog, a surprise gift for someone special or a view that brings back a memory every time you see it, I’ll create something truly personal — painted to be lived with and loved.
What Can I Paint For You?
– Pet portraits (the most popular choice)
– People — family members, children or memory portraits
– Places — homes, holiday views, boats, gardens

A Unique and Thoughtful Gift
Commissioned paintings make brilliant gifts. They’re personal, emotional and made to last. Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, anniversary or just because, it shows real thought and care — and gives them something no one else will have.

“My husband had this beautiful oil painting done by Wendy after losing my beautiful horse. I was so impressed I have asked her to do another of my new horse.”
