Immortalize your best friend with a portrait.
Please E mail me for current time estimate and availability.

My pets are my children so I know how important your pet is to you and I work hard to make his or her portrait a fitting tribute that you will treasure for a lifetime. Each portrait is a painstaking process that typically takes between 60 - 200 hours to complete. I don't send you the finished art until you have seen a preview of it and are completely satisfied.

NOTE: I am now taking commissions for 2008. There is usually about a 2 month wait after getting on the list. A 50% deposit will secure your spot. Please E mail me for current time estimate and availability.Thank you!

Pet Portrait Pricing

In most cases, I will be offering your portrait for sale as prints on my site.
If you do not wish to have your portrait sold as prints, please let me know prior to ordering.

Additional Costs:

Each additional pet in same portrait is %25 extra.

There will be shipping fees added on to the total price. To give you an idea of cost, a typical shipping fee through UPS for a 16 x 20 painting for example, is approximately $65 - $80 (including packaging) which is in addition to the portrait price above. A smaller portrait will be less.

I would need to approve your photo before taking on a commission. The photo needs to be clear, showing adequate detail and be quite near how you would like the portrait to be. It can take many extra hours and often days trying to discern details in pets faces, etc from poor photographs. My main concern with each portrait is to have it depict your pet as accurately as possible and to capture his or her personality, so I would like to work from photos that best show me this side of your pet since I usually don't get the privilege of meeting your pet in person. Please see these tips on how to take a good photo of your pet.

Color portraits are either oil, acrylic or mixed media.

Time needed depends on how many portraits I have ahead of you.
Please contact me and I can give you an estimate.

Guaranteed!
You must be happy with your portrait or you are not obligated to purchase.

I ask for a deposit of 50% at the start. The balance isn't due until you have seen the portrait via email and are happy with it. If for some reason you are not, then I will gladly keep the portrait and send you a complete refund of your deposit. I want you to be 100% happy with your portrait, otherwise you are not obligated to purchase.
