Niki Firmin has long been one of my favorite artists. She is a master at bringing the personality of the animals she draws to life, making you expect their tongues to come out, or them to turn their head and blink at you, get up and wag their tails.
She has a project where she honors K9 Heroes and then puts the drawings together into beautiful calendars. You can find her on X @nikifirmin, and if you are interested in having her do a portrait for you,, or purchasing a calendar, you can reach her at niki_firmin@hotmail.co.uk.

I just can’t say enough about Peter Hogarth’s drawings. I think they’re simply stunning. Contact him about a commission of your pet.

I discovered the art of Angie Wallace via X. Her contact on X is @AngieWFineArt
She does pencil portraits of pets and horses, but also does wildlife, and offers these in the form of commissioned portraits, prints, greeting cards and gifts.
Her website is Angie Wallace Fine Art
I think she is absolutely amazing and just want to see more and more of her work.

I just love Peter Hogarth’s portraits. I almost expect them to react to my wanting to touch and pet them. Beautiful, distinctive art work.

As you can see, Paul Miller also does ‘milder’ pet portraits as well as wildlife. He is self taught and prefers pastels and pastel pencils.

I’m so impressed that people can do portraits of pets that look so real you almost expect their fur to blow in the breeze or the pet to turn and look at you. Marcelo Rocha adds attitude, trying to capture the personality of the pet. His work makes me FEEL. I think he’s beyond amazing.

Emmie creates pet portraits via paper collage. She starts out with a picture you have sent her. She sketches the pet, then gathers bits of magazines. She creates the background first, then creates the pet’s body, finishing up with eyes and nose, capturing the personality of your pet. She includes words in the background of the portrait that mean something particularly to you, such a a pet’s nickname, other pet’s names, the pet’s favorite toy, etc. Also, somewhere in each portrait is a hidden butterfly.
I can’t say enough about this artist. I could look at her work for hours. You’ll see as I share some of it with you –
Ooh and ahh over the portrait itself, then find the special words, and then see if you can find the butterfly. :0)
Remember, these are created with cut up magazine pieces!
I’ve often been impressed by the talent of people. This rates an open mouth, as far as I’m concerned. I’ll share more another time.

Peter captures the personality of his subjects. I want to reach out and pet or hug these dogs. His artistry goes without saying. The FEELINGS he brings out blow my mind.
