Welcome to Dogrose and Catnip
Meet Lynda.....
I'm a Wiltshire born artist, animal lover, and the hands behind Dogrose and Catnip. I work in soft pastel and colour pencil to create heartfelt, lifelike Pet Portraits and nature inspired gifts from my home near Bath - where I live with my husband, two old rescue cats and at the moment, only memories of our beloved Boxer dogs!
Commissions
My passion for realism drives me to highlight not just their physical traits but also the emotions they evoke. The textures of their fur and the expressiveness of their eyes are key elements in my work, creating a connection that resonates with fellow dog, cat and horse lovers
Lynda I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful portrait of Alfie. From the very start you were always ready to answer all my questions and sending me sketch updates so so professional.
My sister was absolutely thrilled with her present saying it was just like a photograph stunning! I will most certainly be booking a portrait of my own dog very soon. All pet lovers should not hesitate to contact Lynda- satisfaction will be guaranteed.
Nature comes alive in a series of high quality prints available through my online store.
Dogs, Cats, Squirrels and more all available in print or stretched canvas........
