Welcome to rudgeoriginals.com for an original and creative take on the tradition of pet portraiture. My name is Caroline Rudge and I have an extensive background in pet portrait commissions. I offer you the opportunity to own for yourself a truly unique portrait of your pet. Click on order for details on how to commission a pet portrait or other work. Some of the works below are still available. Contact me for more information.
To find out more about me, click on ‘about Caroline’.
 
Here you can see an example of how a pet portrait is developed. The four photos below were used as reference, and a composite sketch was made from these. After approval by the client, the final portrait was produced.
With thanks to Mr and Mrs. Wilson for kind permission to use their photographs.
