Farm and Pet Fine Art portraits and Original Works

I'm Annie Jones and I'm a passionate up and coming artist in South Devon. I paint in professional quality acrylic paints to create a custom, long lasting piece of art that immortalises your pet forever.
I paint in a realistic Fine Art style, capturing your pet's essence, character and unique appearance. I work with you from beginning to end, from choosing the best possible photo to making sure I fully capture the fine details that make your pet, your pet.
I specialise in horses as I enjoy having them myself and love painting their features like their deep, expressive eyes however all other furry friends are welcome whether that's your bossy cat, loving dog, cow or sheep. As well as these, I am working on an original longhorn and Highland cow series- some of which are currently available.
All commission portraits come beautifully presented so are a perfect, personal gift for family or friend or just as a treat for yourself.
I am happy to offer advice on photos and what size portrait would best suit your pet.
Please take a look at my gallery showing previous commissions including horse, dog and cats plus original acrylic or oil paintings available for sale.
Please just get in touch either on my website above or Facebook @anniesequinepaintings
I will get back to you as soon as I can. Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you! Annie

Making a contract with Me
When you place an order with Me, you are making an offer to buy goods and services (a painting or other artwork). I will send you an e­mail or social media message to confirm that I have received your order. Once I have checked the price and availability of the goods, I will message You again to confirm that I accept your order and that a contract has been made between Me and You, upon which you will need to pay a 10% deposit with the balance payable within 7 days of completion and prior to despatch. I will not take payment from you until I have accepted your order. In the unlikely event that the goods are no longer available or I am unable to fulfil your order, or that I have made a pricing mistake, I will advise you of this in which case you will not receive a message confirming acceptance of your order and there will be no contract between us.

How to place order and Delivery
To commission a portrait or artwork, use the contact details described on my website or Facebook page and either message me or complete the website form. In doing so you are agreeing in full to these Conditions. At the time of your ordering we will agree an approximate timeframe for completion of the work.
Charges for delivery of original artwork and commissioned artwork vary and will be discussed at the time of your commission. All items are sent by tracked delivery for in the UK, or Parcel Force for International delivery. Completion of commissioned artwork varies but typical times for unframed art are 2-5 weeks from acceptance of your order and receipt of suitable reference images and deposit money. Framed items usually take approximately 7-10 additional days. If artwork is lost or damaged in transit, please let us know promptly. Please do not send me hard copy original photos as I cannot guarantee their safekeeping or safe return; copies or electronic copies are preferred.

Cancellation, Termination and Returns
After I have accepted your order, if You wish to cancel you must give me notice by email or Facebook message using the above address.  From when I have received your written cancellation, the following cancellation or returns policies apply:

• If a Client has paid a deposit on a commission but has not provided photographs or agreed details for the portrait to begin, I will hold the agreed artwork price for a further 6 months until you provide the information needed for a portrait to begin.  If you do not provide the information, the deposit is non-refundable but I will not seek further payment from you.
• If a Client has paid a deposit and work has begun, including initial grounding of canvass, sketches or any other draft artwork, the deposit is non-refundable and the Client will need to pay a further reasonable portion of what would have been the overall fee in proportion to the work undertaken; for example if I deem the artwork is 25%, 50% or 75% complete, I will be entitled to seek further payment of that respective proportion of the overall fee.
• Once I deem a portrait complete, I will send a photograph of the artwork for the Client to confirm that they are happy with finished image and are happy to have the portrait either framed or despatched for delivery and the remainder of the fee is due in full, plus the cost of framing  (if chosen) and the cost of delivery; cleared payment in full to be received prior to artwork being despatched.
• Once the Client has received the artwork, I am afraid I am not able to offer refunds.  However, in the very unlikely situation that you are not satisfied with it please contact me immediately and I will try and discuss options of resolving the issue in a reasonably way.
• If for whatever reason (including force majure) I am unable to complete your commissioned portrait or artwork within a reasonable time and to a standard I deem reasonable, I will notify you of the fact and will return in full any monies you have paid in respect of the artwork and this will be the limit of my liability.

Damage in Transit
I very carefully package all my artwork and only send by tracked delivery. If a portrait arrives damaged, please take and send photos of the damaged packaging and damaged artwork to me immediately. We will then discuss options. If I believe the portrait is salvageable, you must return it to me (suitably wrapped and packaged and via tracked delivery) for inspection or repair. If I believe I cannot repair the damage on the original artwork, I will produce a new similar portrait for the Client at no additional cost though the Client will need to cover the cost of return, delivery and, if required, re-framing.

IPR and Copyright including Artwork Displayed on this Website or social media
I retain copyright of all artwork I produce and generally assert the Artist’s moral rights to be identified as the author of the work and as such reserve the right to use my paintings and drawings for promotional material and display unless agreed with you in writing in advance and prior to the order being accepted.
No part of my paintings or artwork may be registered under the Registered Design Regulations 2001 (as amended) without my consent in writing. However, I will not reproduce Client commissioned artwork for re-sale or use the images on products or merchandise for sale without the Clients agreement.
Where you have provided me either electronically or in hard-copy with material whether photographs or drawings or other media which may be the subject of copyright (e.g. someone else’s photograph of a horse) you will indemnify me for any subsequent loss or claim or damages of any kind in relation to the use of such material and this shall include immediate re-imbursement to me in full of any loss or expense or damages (including any punitive damages) or costs or legal costs incurred whatsoever.

Liability
