Pet Por­trait Artist Penny Richard­son lives in the vil­lage of Exton between the towns of Oakham in Rut­land and Stam­ford in Lin­colnshire.
Penny has been paint­ing pet por­traits pro­fes­sion­ally since leav­ing Lough­bor­ough Art Col­lege in 1984.
Penny was born in Har­ro­gate in York­shire and started her career as a Leices­ter­shire Artist at North­field Farm, Cold Over­ton, near Melton Mowbray.

Penny is a descen­dant of the Player fam­ily from Not­ting­hamshire and Der­byshire. She spe­cial­izes in dog, cat and horse por­traits and peo­ple por­trai­ture, although she is also an accom­plished land­scape and flo­ral painter, work­ing in a vari­ety of medi­ums such as Gouache, Pas­tel and Oils. All these medi­ums enable fine detail and a rich use of colour giv­ing a tremen­dous amount of realism.

If you would like a pet por­trait paint­ing and require pho­tographs and live in our local­ity we will take pho­tographs free of charge, pro­vid­ing you bring your pet to us. We are between the Mar­ket Towns of Stam­ford in Lin­colnshire & Oakham in Rut­land in Leices­ter­shire, just 1 mile from Rut­land Water.

Alter­na­tively, if you live out­side our local­ity, you can email your favourite pet photo’s to us. When your pet por­trait is com­pleted, we can scan and send a proof via email for your approval. If alter­ations are nec­es­sary we will make the adjust­ments and send fur­ther proofs until we get the por­trait as you like it.

If you would like a detailed quo­ta­tion, you can phone me on: 07884198748
A deposit of £50.00 is required before start­ing a paint­ing.
The remain­ing bal­ance is to be paid before posting.
