5 out of 5 starsAfter 10 years of living & growing together, I lost my best friend, sweet AJ the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He meant the world to me and losing him has been tough. After combing thru 600 phone pics of him I found my favorite pose and started looking on Etsy for someone to commemorate him in a painting. Puci had some nice paintings of Cavs so I went with her. She was great to work with, our communication was very succinct and she understood what I was trying to do. When she sent back the first image of the finished painting my eyes watered up again, she captured his spirit and likeness without equal. I am forever grateful to have this tribute to my best bud to cherish forever. Thank you.

5 out of 5 starsPerfect in every way from start to finish! Great communication and excellent product- Darlene is so talented. She even asked for additional pictures to get the details just right. We couldn’t be happier with our painting! My mother-in-law loved it. :) Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsPerfect! Perfect! Perfect! I have worked with puci pet portraits on 2 separate occasions over the years and I can say I am never disappointed. I wanted a portrait of my childhood home painted with our family dogs in front for my moms birthday and Darlene captured the home and girls exactly how I imagined. Even though the dogs were not the main part of the painting their individual personalities shine through. Darlene is one of the most pleasant and wonderful people to work with. I cannot say enough good things about her. I will surely be back! Thank you!

My childhood best friend, Alfie. -

My beloved (hippy dog) ALFIE, in a funny "Wanted" poster that my brother made (back in the 1970's).
Is YOUR beloved next up on my easel?
Was it my childhood best friend Alfie (the long-haired Maltese Poodle "hippy dog" of the 70's) who inspired me to take my sketchbook into the dog park? --and then decades later inspired me to turn my paintbrush towards the realm of pet (and people) portraiture? Maybe. The love of a good dog can do that to a person...
I've been a professional fine arts painter for a looooog time. And, since that day in July 2007 (when I sold my first 8x8" custom pet portrait painting), I've enjoyed working with hundreds of people from all over the world to portray their loved ones (pets AND people) in oil paints. I can paint your beloveds within simple or elaborate backgrounds, wearing all sorts of fun costumes (or not), in just about any size you'd like from 8x8" & up, and even when the only photo(s) you have are lacking in clarity.
I'd love to have YOUR beloved on my easel. Contact me anytime with your painting ideas and to find out about my current turn-around time. Thanks!!!
