Custom, Hand Painted Pet Portrait • I work from your photos and ship everywhere!

“Every time I stop to look at Robin’s portrait of Maple, my daughter’s Goldendoodle – and that’s often – I see something new. The spirited color palette and the many details – some subtle, others more prominent – give the work a spontaneity that bursts off the substrate. The iconography of my family’s shared life together – plumb blossoms, shadows of Dewi Ratih, honeybees – make the piece timeless. There are precious few things that bring equal pleasure to a precocious ten-year-old girl and her much older father. Robin has used her prodigious talent to gift us just that – a priceless piece of pure joy, mined from the vein of unabashed mirth that must surely occupy a large piece of real estate inside her own heart and head.” – Stretch Ledford, Illinois

That lovely customer testimonial is in reference to the first two photos in this listing and are why I do what I do. I want to bring joy to as many of you as possible through my portraits of your sweet dogs! My name is Robin Arthur. I live in Paonia, Colorado, and I have been painting custom, privately commissioned portraits of animals for people all over the world for many, many years under the name of RobiniArt.

I paint your dog from photos that you send to me via robin [!at] robiniart.com or here in Etsy messages. Easy! Best photos are bright, focused and in natural light, with your dog facing the camera and not being held.

Prices listed are for single dog (one-dog) portraits only. There are additional charges to paint two or more dogs, that we can discuss over the phone or via email.

Paintings do not need a frame. They arrive ready to hang, which is wonderful if you lead a busy life.

I will pack your painting professionally and ship it to you safely, and it will be insured to its full value.

*** SHIPPING TIME VARIES, DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF MY WAITLIST ***

*** REACH OUT TO ME AT robin [!at] robiniart.com IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE OUTSIDE OF ETSY - NO PROBLEM! ***

I sometimes have to put your portrait on a waitlist after your purchase if I get several commissions at once, because I can't paint them all at once. Lol! Therefore, shipping can vary from a short time to a longer time. Patience is a virtue when commissioning fine art from a successful, professional artist! If you have questions about this, just ask. I can sometimes accommodate customer schedules if they are having an art gifting emergency, and sometimes, my wait list is very short!

IMPORTANT: If you're hoping to send one of my portraits as a holiday gift, please pretty please let me know in your comments and order by early summer (at the very, very latest). I'm not a machine! :-) I get pretty swamped with holiday commissions and can only paint so fast . . . . but I do have gift certificates. Having said, that, it never hurts to ask in November or early December. If I'm on top of my game, I could possibly have your portrait done for you in time. ALWAYS ASK!

ALSO IMPORTANT: There are absolutely NO RETURNS on custom orders, whether I've physically started your painting or not. I spend a lot of time with clients in the pre-painting phase with emails, phone calls, photo discussions, composition design, color conversations, graphic design for ideas, etc., and that time is valuable and needs to be paid. Also, for example, if you change your mind and want a refund in a good amount of time after ordering, there is a 100% chance that I will have paid bills with your moolah and not be able to give it back to you anyway!

Thanks for taking the time to read this long description. If you've made it this far, you're probably serious about commissioning me to paint your sweet fur baby. Do a little more research at the following links, and stay safe and healthy out there, wherever you are!
