    I have one of Paul’s on our Kitchen wall which he did of our dog a few years ago.

    Definitely advocate getting one done.

    Hard enough doing a portrait of a person. God knows how you got those dogs to sit still for so long.

    Its easier to use strong drugs to knock them out first. The fatality rate is about 10%, but its worth it for the finished product :)

    Paul's brilliant. If you're thinking about getting something done I would just go for it - will last a lifetime.

    Mine was a birthday present for my Mum as a surprise.

    Normally work to A3, Barry. Average price is about £150 for head & shoulders portrait. That’s a local rate. I sting southerners & Americans for more.. ;)
