Pet Portraits
There are few things
that enrich our lives more than our pets. They give us reason to smile every
day and often come into our lives bearing wondrous gifts that defy
description. Each pet is unique, with it’s own idiosyncrasies and
inner landscape, a landscape that remains a mystery to everyone but
you. And, there’s no better word for the ties that bind you to
your pet than
love.
When you
commission a portrait
- The photos and text you
submit are used as my inspiration and a picture begins to develop in my
mind. As I lay paint to canvass there may be several twists and turns
that take place. I’ve found that paintings develop a life of their own
as I work and the path to their completion is rarely a direct route.
In the end, it is my goal to create a painting that honors the spirit of
your pet.
The time required to
complete a custom painting varies. If you are giving a painting as a
gift and have a particular date in mind, please let me know and I will do my
best to accommodate you. Pricing

How to Get Started
-
Text -
Include a written stream of consciousness telling me about your pet –
provide any information you like - don’t worry about grammar or spelling -
just let it flow!
-
Photos -
At least 3-4 photos that you feel show your pet’s character and true
colors. It’s best if your pet fills the picture. Try to send
at least one photo where the frame is filled with your pets head only.
When you take your picture, try to get down to the animal’s eye level
for the best angle. Take your photos outside if possible, in good light.
Dramatic lighting is always encouraged. If you
have to be indoors, try to use natural daylight, near a bright window.
Please avoid flash as it tends to wash out the details.
-
Protect Your Photos -
When mailing your photos, please protect them using a stiff envelope or
photo-mailer. Artist will treat them well, but cannot guarantee that the
post office will too. If you are sending images from a professional
photographer, you must get permission from them first as these photos are
copyrighted.
