With their soft fur, sparkling eyes and twitching noses, your rabbits and other small pets make the sweetest subjects for my hand-painted pet portraits.
Take a look through some of my favourite rabbit paintings and find out which other small pets I can paint.

Hercules & Thor | A Cute Duo: Two very different personalities in one painting. I loved capturing Thor's bright eyes and Hercy's rather grumpy expression.

Titch | One of My Favourites: One of my favourite rabbit paintings to date! I really love how the watercolour has really captured Titch's soft, fluffy fur!

Oreo - A Christmas Gift: This pet portrait of Oreo was a Christmas gift for a young boy - how special!

Rabbits are such social little creatures, and there is nothing quite like the bond between a husbun and bunwife, or a trio of best friends, so naturally you'd want a portrait of them together!
If you share your home with more than one rabbit, I can take your photos and paint a single portrait, capturing a little of what makes their relationship special.

"Hi Jo. I love it! You have got him down to a tee. You want to reach out and stroke his fur. I can't wait to see it hanging up on the wall. Thanks once again."
Customer Testimonial | Caroline, UK

"We received a beautiful picture of our pet bunny, as a present this Christmas. It is a true likeness of her, with such fine detail. Even capturing the mischievous glint in her eye. We are very impressed with the high quality of the portrait and would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for a pet portrait."

"Jo has done an amazing job turning a blank canvas into a life-like watercolour of my two buns, from the sparkle in Thor's eye to Hercy's grumpy face, she has got the detail just right. I gave her a picture taken from a mobile and what we received was nothing short of spectacular.
She was always in contact and incredibly professional thro

She was always in contact and incredibly professional throughout and we will definitely be in contact for another of our newest baby buns when they grow up a little. Thank you so much for everything."

You rabbits pose can make a surprisingly big difference to the feel of your portrait.
A relaxed flop or classic over-the-shoulder glance can eac show a completely different side of your rabbit's personality.
If you need help deciding from all the photos - send them my way, I'll be happy to help!
Paws neatly tucked away, creating that lovely peaceful, rounded shape. This pose is perfect for showing off the soft texture of your rabbit's coat and their gentle, relaxed expression. The feeling is calm and still and suit's any size portrait
Sitting upright on their hind legs with their ears fully extended. This is such an alert and curious pose, and a lovely way to capture those bright eyes, long ears and elegant shape. It's a fun posture for a portrait and shows their inquisitive side.
The body faces away, but the head turns back to look directly at you. A slightly regal and rather sassy option that shows off the markings on their back, the fluff of their tail and one wonderfully expressive eye.
Stretched completely out and flat on their belly - the ultimate sign that a rabbit is feeling relaxed and at home. I love this pose because the loose washes of watercolour can capture that wonderfully soft, "melting" shape as they flop onto the floor. This pose creates a unique, panoramic style portrait.

Although rabbits account for many of my small-pet portraits, I'm not limited to them! I'm happy to paint all sorts of furry, feathered or scaled companions.
Alongside rabbits and guinea pigs, I can create portraits of:
Living in the Lincolnshire countryside, I'm surrounded by farming, wildlife and the traditions that come with it, so I thought it would be fun to open up my portraits to some of the other animals you might have at home, on the farm or out in the field, including:

Here are a few quick answers to common questions about my Rabbit pet portraits. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, just ask - I’m always happy to help.
Rabbits can be a little tricky to photograph, so take your time and try a few different shots. Natural daylight works best because it shows their true colours and markings clearly. If possible, get down to their eye-level or gently place them on a table so you can photograph them more easily.
Here's what helps most:
You're always welcome to send me a selection of photos, and I'll happily help you choose the one that will make the best portrait.
Yes, absolutely! Even if you don't have a photo of your rabbits together, I can paint them side by side in a natural, balanced composition. Simply send separate photos of each rabbit, and I'll help position them so the final watercolour portrait looks harmonious and captures each of their personalities.
Yes, I can. Memorial portraits are a meaningful way to remember a much-loved rabbit. You can send any photos you have, and I'll help you choose the best reference. My aim is to create a gentle, expressive watercolour that honours their personality and keeps their memory close.
Definitely! If you'd like a portrait that includes your rabbit alongside another pet - such as a guinea pig or cat - simply send me clear photos of each and I'll create a harmonious composition with balanced proportions.
