Artist ‘putting some positivity out into the world’ through mini pet paintings An animal-loving artist has been “putting some positivity out into the world” by painting people’s pets in miniature.
“I usually start with the eyes and then work outwards from there and I try and make sure there’s a bit of thickness in the paint so you can tell it is hand painted, which is really important for people, especially nowadays in the age of AI.”.
“I thought it would be a nice way for people to have a portrait of their pets without breaking the bank,” Mrs Birchmore, who lives in Stroud, Gloucestershire, told the PA news agency.
“I often depict dead pets and people get quite emotional, it’s really wholesome.”.
One of her first paintings was of a three-legged black and white rescue lurcher called Cassie which her late grandmother owned.
