Each dog has a personality. Of course, their owner’s do too. My job is to create dog portraits and people portraits that capture the personality of the subject, whether it be an oil painting, acrylic painting or graphite drawing. There are a lot of commissioned portraits shown here, as well as original art including wildlife, landscapes, horses, and people. While none of these paintings are for sale and are for display here only, you can commission a custom painting.
“Chris Chantland is an extraordinary realist, but his work captures much more than an image, an animal or individual. He brings the very essence, the soul of his subjects onto canvas. His work rivals the very best in portrait painting today.”
