When the final painting arrived it literally took my breath away. Thank you for perfectly capturing Dragon for us! -

5 out of 5 starsShe does amazing work. I have ordered three paintings so far for myself and friends. She is always able to capture the dog’s individuality in the paintings.

5 out of 5 starsWe absolutely love our pet portrait—it is exactly what I had in mind and definitely a piece that my family will treasure for years to come! Darlene (Puci) was really able to capture our dog’s likeness and personality in the portrait, with a beautiful painterly style. I am amazed by the quality of the finished portrait. She was a pleasure to work with, and I appreciate the time and effort she put into making sure every detail was just right. I was also impressed with how quickly she was able to finish the portrait. I would highly recommend Puci and hope to work with her again in the future!

5 out of 5 starsI can't even begin to express how delighted I was with the painting of my beloved Zoey! Puci captured the smallest details of what made Zoey so adorable and enchanting. She was a joy to work with and went out of her way to fully understand what Zoey's personality was like and what made her unique. She even even was willing to add a fabric design in my living room to tie it all together. Absolutely the best pet portrait artist out there! Thanks so much Puci!!!

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!!!
