Christine has been painting for just over five years now and has painted in most mediums, but has settled mainly on Pastels and watercolour. She is also a qualified Bob Ross wildlife artist in oils.

She prefers to paint portraits of animals, and people in pastels and is currently doing many portrait commissions of dogs, some of which may be seen on this site.

She also paints land and seascapes, buildings etc mainly in watercolour or pastels.

Animal portraits are from £90 for head and chest and roughly add 50% for each additional animal on the same painting. These come fully framed usually in ash any other design may incur further cost. These portraits are done from photographs, which must be of good quality, or you may bring the animal to her so she can take the required photographs.

All paintings require a 50% deposit and buyer must collect as pastel paintings are too fragile to send by post or carrier.

Besides art and crafts Christine’s other passion is her work. She is a Natural Therapist working from her own practice based in Chelmsford Essex.
