5 out of 5 starsI am so happy with my memorial rock for our sweet dog who died a couple of months ago at 12 and a half years. The portrait looks just like the photo I sent, and the size and shape of the rock are perfect. Cynthia was quick to answer any questions I had and she sent a photo of the painting for my approval before completing the project. My husband & son will be so pleased & surprised on Christmas morning, and I predict there will be in tears, as when I first saw it. ❤️

5 out of 5 starsCynthia captured our dog perfectly. Incredibly well done!! His face and eyes are the true sign of accuracy. We wanted a slightly larger rock to use as a door stop and within hours, it was found. Great communication regarding the finishing (can’t be that easy to paint a black dog lol) and I would not hesitate to purchase again from this artist.

Rock picking at a creek.
My life as an artist.
I started drawing at a very young age. I would fill up my mother's writing pads with doodles and then catch hell because she couldn't find a clean page. "Sorry, mom!"
Many years later, after trying a few different mediums, I realized I loved oil painting.
I draw and paint any subject matter that inspires me, from portraits (people & pets) to scenery, still life, and flowers.
In 1998 I found a book at the library on painting rocks. I looked at the book and put it back. I couldn't get it out of my mind so I went back the next day and borrowed it. Well, the rest is history, I've been painting rocks ever since!
I also love to paint on wooden Christmas ornaments. I create the design and then paint it on the ornament freehand, fun!
I also paint your pet or child on the larger ornaments. I include a Santa hat and "your" words on the back.
Thanks for visiting,
Cynthia

Frequently asked questions
What if I have an idea for a painting?
I'm all ears! Just convo me with your thoughts and we can discuss it.
How big are the portrait rocks?
The rock for a single portrait is about 5" x 5" give or take. Every rock is unique and the shape will vary. The cost for this size is CAD $140 + shipping.
Double portrait rocks are about 9" x 6" give or take. They are CAD $260 +shipping
Do I have to pay upfront for my custom order?
Yes, full payment before I start.
We will convo each other with questions and ideas and I really want you to be happy.
I strive to do my best work with every portrait and want you to be thrilled.
What is the process if I want a portrait rock done?
*PLEASE, before you purchase send me at least one good photo. The more the better!
*I'll let you know if the photos are usable.
*Let me know if you want any names or dates on the rock. (Front or back)
*We get the finances out of the way and I start painting.
*I will send you photos when I'm done for your approval.
*Then I varnish, let it cure for a day, then ship it to you!
Please don't be shy about questions or thoughts. I may contact you too with questions.
What photos should I send?
Please send good clear jpeg photos. I cannot paint what I cannot see!
Close-ups and full body (for pets)
Outdoor or natural light is best.
A large pixel size if possible.
How long does it take you to paint my portrait rock?
It depends on where you are in the queue.
It shouldn't be more than a week or two in most cases.
Do the portraits have to be on a rock?
No!
I have small flat panels as small as 4" x 4" I'd be happy to paint on if you don't want a rock.
