**ANNOUNCEMENT** Custom pet portrait orders are currently closed for spring/summer 2024. I will re-open commissions in the fall once I've completed most of my art festival scheduled dates. Please send me a message via the contact tab if you would like your name added to the wait list. Thank you for your understanding.
Custom pet portraits are a beautiful way to honor a much beloved member of your family. They are created in oil paint on 3/4" wood cradle board. The edges are finished and can be hung with or without a frame. Please contact me to inquire about commissioning a pet portrait of your own.
Pet Portrait FAQs:
Q: Does my pet need to be present for you to paint their portrait?
A: No. Paintings are created from photos, often provided by you, unless specifically requested that I take my own photos (in which case, additional costs would be determined).
Q: How do I choose the best photo for you to paint from?
A: Often people have a favorite photo in mind. If not, I am available to help every step of the way, including helping to select a photo that represents your pet, has great composition, good resolution, etc.
Q: How long does it take to create the painting?
A: Completion times vary depending on how many commissions are in queue. In general, once the commission arrangement is finalized and electronic photos are supplied, your painting will be completed and dry in 2-4 weeks. Shipping times are not included in this time estimate. I will always do my best to work within time constraints you might have. Please contact me for details.

A: Your pet portrait can be created in any size - you just have to ask! Some common sizes are 5x7 inch, 6x6 inch, 8x10 inch, and 11x14 inch.
