I am excited to announce I just added pet portraits to my services. Have a sweet photo of your pet you'd like me to paint? I'd be honored to paint it for you and I am finding pet portraits to be both challenging and fun to create. 

Here are a couple tips for submitting a good photo of your pet.

- Decide if you want just your pet's face or whole body painted. Either way, get as close up as you can. Even though I paint pet portraits in a semi-abstract style, the more details I can see in the photo helps me paint a piece that really captures your pet's personality.

- Make sure your photo is clear, no blurry photos

I recommend leaving the pet portrait background to a solid color or abstract design so that the focus is on your pet and not the background. This is just my recommendation. If you'd like a specific background, I would be more than glad to add it for an additional fee.

Once I start on your commission, I need about 1-2 weeks to complete. I varnish each of my paintings to protect them from the elements, such as dust and light. Once I finish painting your portrait and you approve it, I let it sit for several days to make sure it is completely dry before varnishing. After I add the varnish, I recommend letting it sit to dry for a couple days. Then I can send your portrait to you! :)  If you are local, I can deliver it to you.

I can paint pet portraits just about any size you'd like, but just to give you a reference, the paintings above are on 6x6" gessobord panels. They can either be framed or placed on a tabletop easel.
