TESTIMONIALS
"We commissioned Penel to paint our Labrador Bones in oils on canvas as we wanted to honour him and celebrate the joy he brings to our family, in his lifetime. Having looked at her other work, we knew that Penel would get a great likeness of Bones, but we weren't prepared for how she managed to capture even the essence of him. It was breathtaking! We will treasure his portrait for the rest of our lives."

Absolutely thrilled with our pencil portrait of our beloved dog, Archie!
The artistry is simply outstanding.....
Penel has truly captured Archie's personality, his striking eyes, and his unique colouring with incredible precision.
It's as if Archie is right there on the paper, looking back at us.
We couldn't be happier with this beautiful piece of art that perfectly encapsulates everything we love about our furry friend. Thank you, Penel, for creating a cherished memory that we will treasure forever!
Highly recommended to all pet lovers!

I commissioned Penel Kirk to paint a portrait of my beautiful lurcher Tiger when it became obvious that she was going to sadly pass away before long. I have previously bought Penel’s paintings so I knew that the portrait would be good; it is absolutely beautiful and exceeded all my expectations. Penel had caught so brilliantly Tiger’s character, it is incredible. I absolutely love the portrait it’s so realistic it’s almost as if Tiger is in the room and I could stroke her fur.

“How Penel captured Teddy’s expression so perfectly I’ll never know… Every time I glance at his portrait I feel overwhelmed with adoration for him!”

What a huge talent! Penel is one of those artists that when you see one of her drawings up close and in real life, her attention to detail is extraordinary. She has drawn 2 of our family dogs, Austie (wire haired dachshund) and Roger (Lurcher) and has captured their personalities perfectly! Send her as many of your favourite photographs and she somehow knows which ones to work from. She’s brilliant!

Our family dog passed away last year and we all really miss her. She was a 14 year old West Highlands Terrier and we wanted to have a permanent reminder of her. We were referred to Penel and provided a few photographs for her to use that we really loved. Penel was able to capture our dog’s personality so well, we are so happy with the result and her portrait now hangs in our living room. We really can’t recommend Penel enough.

‘It’s as if he hasn’t gone! Penel’s portrait of Beetle greets me as I come in the front door, just as he always did. Penel got him to perfection.

Penel is a fabulous artist and highly skilled in pet portraits. Our two golden retrievers were painted by her, and although amendments and final touch ups were offered, none were needed. Penel captured their personalities perfectly, and they now hang pride and place in our living room. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Penel!
