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.
“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.”
Catherine Crier, New York, New York
“Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men, / because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3: 23-24
