The good spot on the sofa is taken. A Gum Pattern Pet Portrait places your animal in front of a flat and even wallpaper of Australian natives on a deep teal green ground, after the Arts and Crafts wallpaper of the 1890s. The pattern carries long gum leaves, coral flowering gum, wattle, gum nuts and white flannel flowers. Your pet is shown in a painted look with a thin dark outline, and no flowers cross onto the animal.

Start with good daylight and no flash, at your pet's eye level, your pet facing you and the whole head in frame. Get close enough to see the eyes, and send one pet. Our studio examples show the look on four dogs, two cats and a chestnut horse.

We suggest an oak look frame for the gum pattern pet portrait, and you can change the colour on the style page. A framed print arrives ready to hang in a 20 mm timber frame, with a shatterproof acrylic front and 200gsm matte art paper. The white mount, the white border inside the frame, is for framed prints only. Without it, the portrait fills the frame. Framed print, canvas and unframed options come in A4 (21 x 29.7 cm), square (30 x 30 cm), A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) and A2 (42 x 59.4 cm).

Before you pay, the preview shows your pet in this style in under a minute, free and watermarked. Adding your pet's name is free, and the printed portrait has no watermark.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which frame suits a gum pattern pet portrait?

Our studio sets this portrait in an oak look frame, picked for you on the style page, and you can change the colour before you order. The white mount is a framed print option only, and without it the picture fills the frame.

Does the gum pattern style work for cats and horses?

Yes. The style is shown on more than dogs: our studio examples include two cats and a chestnut horse, alongside a gum pattern dog portrait on four breeds.

What does a gum pattern pet portrait look like up close?

The pattern stays flat and even behind your pet, with a thin dark line around the animal and no flowers crossing onto it. Before you pay, the preview opens on a close-up of the whole portrait so you can judge that detail, and an On the wall view shows it in a room. The preview is free and watermarked, and the printed portrait has no watermark.

Can one portrait have two pets, or me with my pet?

One portrait holds up to three pets, or you with your pet, one pet with one or two people, or two pets with one person. Add one photo per pet and per person, and a selfie is fine. With a person in the portrait, one photo of everyone together also works, and you confirm you hold the rights to the photos. Separate photos come out side by side, close together, nobody hugging or holding. No extra cost. A few styles stop at two pets, shown on the style page.

What changes can I ask for on my portrait?

Each style page has an optional Special requests box above Add to cart. Our design team reads your note and makes the change before your proof, included in the price. People ask for the name smaller or larger, the name centred or moved up or down, wider or tighter letter spacing, two names over two lines, a background colour outside the swatches, a collar, lead or harness left out, a stray object behind the pet tidied away, the crop adjusted for more room above the ears, or an eye colour or coat marking corrected.

What if it does not look like my pet?

You are the judge, first in the free preview before you pay. If it is not right, try another photo or another style at no cost. Write what you would like adjusted in the Special requests box. After you order, a designer reviews the portrait to make sure it will print well, then you receive a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if you want it refined at the proof, we refine it at no cost.
