ORDERING CUSTOM PET PORTRAITS IS EASY AND FUN!

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE:
Recommended sizes are listed below, but custom sizes are available. When choosing the size, consider where it will be displayed, the distance of the viewers and also the added dimensions of the mat and frame. Larger sized paintings will show off the animal's details more clearly, but I'm an accomplished miniature artist, so even if you choose a small size it will look great!

Choose your photos…I can help you with your selection if you are unsure. My portraits are highly custom paintings, and include changing the background or choosing a color scheme of your choice. I can work from several photos for reference, so don't worry if your favorite snapshots aren't perfect. Send some jpeg photos of your pet and tell me about his personality! Once I have a look at your photos, we'll share our thoughts and ideas and I’ll answer any questions you may have.

THE INTERACTIVE PAINTING PROCESS...
Once you have placed your order, I’ll create rough layouts from which to choose your final composition. I use only professional watercolor pigments and Arches archival watercolor papers. As I paint your pet, I‘ll include you in the creative process by sending images of the portrait in progress for you to approve. Working together this way, we’ll make sure that all the details (composition, personality, eye and fur color, etc.) are perfect! It’s fun to see your portrait come to life!

DELIVERING YOUR ARTWORK!
When the painting is finished and approved, I’ll carefully package, insure and ship it out to you! Sizes 8" x 10" and under will include an archival, single white mat and backboard. Paintings 11" x 14" will be shipped flat, and larger paintings are shipped carefully rolled in secure mailing tubes. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed!

Notes: Portraits that involve multiple subjects, or rush jobs will entail added charges. Completion time depends on how many commissions I have lined up. If you need artwork for a holiday gift, please order early to avoid disappointment…it gets super busy by October! Usually I can finish in a week...complex and larger projects may take more time.
