Choosing presents for loved ones is often difficult, especially when the person you’re buying for already seems to have everything they need.

That’s where new Sedgley-based art company Paws to Paint can help, producing unique, hand-painted portraits of pets or family members to give as truly original presents.

Unlike many other similar services which simply print photographs onto canvas, each portrait created by Paws to Paint is drawn and then painted onto canvas or heavy-duty paper in acrylics, oils, watercolours or gouache.

Customers simply supply their favourite picture and Paws to Paint will do the rest, supplying images of the work in progress so the portrait meets the exact needs of the client.

Each portrait aims to capture the true character of your pet or family member and will provide pleasure for many years to come.

And, with prices starting from as little as £40 for a pencil or charcoal drawing, giving an original piece of art might not be as expensive as you may think.

Call 07780001517, email paws2paint@gmail.com or visit Paws to Paint on Facebook and Twitter today to commission a unique gift that loved ones will cherish.
