Website gallery updates

Just a little note to say I have updated both the original art and the pet portrait commissions galleries this evening, adding my most recent group pet portrait of Beth and Holly and adding the two recent Horse drawings I completed to the originals gallery.

Even though both of the originals are sold I thought I would add them anyway as examples of what I do and what might be available in the future, particularly as I'm enjoying equine portraits so much at the moment!

Laura's Pet Portraits Website Re-design

I have recently uploaded the re-designed Laura's Pet Portraits website. It hasn't changed an awful lot - I have just tried to streamline it a little bit, just sticking to the essential pages and I have reduced the number of galleries to two, one for Pet Portrait Commissions and one for Original Artwork.

The Pet Portrait gallery now contains a selection of the variety of types of portrait I offer rather than showing all of the commissions I have completed as the last ones did.

The Original Artwork Gallery is to showcase the range of original art I complete. Anything that is for sale will be added to this gallery.

I have also changed the links pages, reducing that down to one page. I spent several hours going through my old links ensuring they still worked and that repicrocal exchanges were still in place. If anyone with a relevant website would like to take part in a reciprocal link exchange please add my details to your site (details on the links page) then contact me with your information.

Any comments on the new site are most welcome...

Gallery updates

I have updated the coloured pencil dog gallery today. I added Dyaln and Jobi's pet portraits, then realised I had never added Harry, the Brittany Spaniel, I completed a while ago. It's all up to date now though.

It's suddenly got a bit busier here again. I now have 4 on my waiting list again, two of which are ready to go and two that I am waiting for photographs for. It always seems to happen like that - I have one on my waiting list, then all of a sudden I get a another order, or someone pays a deposit and then I have lots to do again! I'll have plenty to show you in the next few weeks.

Website updates

I got an order yesterday from a customer and realised I haven't amended my order forms on my website! I still had the watercolour pencils option on there and had failed to add my new sizes in the graphite and coloured pencils. I was also getting a security warning when I accessed the order form. I'm not sure if these things are stopping people ordering but i'm quite sure they aren't helping. After all, online ordering is meant to be convenient, and it's certainly not convenient when you can't order all the sizes that are listed on the price list. To say I was annoyed at myself is an understatment!

It's all sorted now though, both the online and printable order forms are ammended and I have removed the javascript that was causing the security warning. It was a big lesson to me to ensure that everything is updated properly when I change things
