| Dog Portraits Animal portrait artist Ann Seward is internationally renowned for creating the most amazingly lifelike dog portraits. Each portrait is an authentic, accurate and totally lifelike evocation of the subject, which projects the very soul of the dog into each portrait moving many owners to tears when they receive the immortalisation of their beloved dog. Meeting each subject personally Ann is able to recognize their individual personalities, characters and idiosyncrasies. She takes a set of colour photographs, makes notes on colour, markings, blemishes, etc., and then gifted with a photographic memory she recalls each subject when creating the detailed beautiful works of art in her studio.
