I am Kenneth Gould, I work from home on the Isle of Cumbrae, producing hand-painted pet portraits in oil on canvas. I take great care and attention to detail to try to capture the spirit of each subject, and every portrait is 100% my own work, never digitally created. I paint dogs, cats and all beloved pets, including memorial portraits, on four canvas sizes from £95. I frame all of my own work using high-quality picture moulding.
I have had a lifelong interest in art, following in the footsteps of my father, Robert Gould, who taught me many of his techniques. I am colour blind, which I believe has helped my practice: it makes me focus on colour theory, and sometimes produces interesting, unexpected effects.
Alongside the portraits I sell original oil paintings of Scottish landscapes, and gift certificates are available. Delivery is tracked and insured across the UK.
