Golden retriever portraits
A golden retriever, in golden light
The warmest face in any room, painted the way you see it: soft-eyed, feathered and faintly grinning.
The exact shade of gold
Goldens range from pale cream to deep copper red, and the difference matters to anyone who loves one. We paint the colour your photographs show, and the feathering on the chest, legs and tail as it really falls.
A gentle face, a grand portrait
There is something irresistible about the kindest dog in the world wearing a general's sash and a chest of medals. Our Military General portrait was practically made for a golden.
Quieter options
Royal Renaissance for classic grandeur, Dutch Old Master for warm umber light that makes a golden coat glow like honey, or Regency Portrait for a calm library scene.
When the muzzle goes white
Goldens grey early and gracefully. We keep every white hair. And when it is time to remember one, the Memorial Meadow portrait paints them in the late sun they always loved.

Enquiries
Questions
Can you paint a red or English cream golden?
Yes. Coat shade is matched to your photographs, not to a generic golden.
Which style is most popular for goldens?
We would steer you toward Military General or Dutch Old Master; both flatter that coat.
Can my golden sit with me?
Yes. Our Pet & Owner portrait paints you together.
