Custom Pet Portraits
1. Send me a photo
Give me the practical details with the form below. Tell me what it means you you, too!
2. Work together
We work together to get your idea just right. We agree on a price based on the size, complexity, and timeline.
3. Enjoy your art!
The painting process typically takes 1-3 weeks. I’ll have it delivered once you’re happy with the final product.
Celebrate the animals in your life
I’ve enjoyed the companionship of dogs, cats, birds, or reptiles as pets throughout my life. I love capturing that relationship in a painting, and I’d love to paint one for you!
I turn photos of your pets into works of art. I paint every sort of pet or livestock with gouache on paper. It starts with your idea- you give me the picture(s), what size of painting you’d like, timelines, and any other details (desired colors, background, style). It also helps if you tell me something about the pet and what they mean to you.
Once I understand what you’re looking for and we agree on a price, the first 50% is paid and I make some thumbnail sketches for you to choose from. These are smaller, quicker drawings that help us both be on the same page. Once you’re happy with one, I start on the real painting. I’ll send you a picture of the painting once it’s completed.
If you’re not satisfied with it at this stage, it’s possible that small corrections can be made. But if nothing can be done, then you don’t have to pay the second half of the price and I keep the painting. This has never happened, but it’s nice to know how it would be handled. Once you’re happy, it’s delivered and you can enjoy your new work of art!
These prices are indicative; the price for your request can be higher or lower, dependent on the number and complexity of subjects, changes made to the original photo, and any rush fees. This price is for the painting alone; it does not include framing or shipping.
