PET PORTRAITS

Lovingly and skillfully created oil paintings that will last a lifetime. The perfect gift for a pet lover to celebrate a new (or old) furry family member. Keep their memory forever with beautiful artwork for your home.

    Sizes & Pricing

    These are the recommended sizes for portraits on panel. The prices listed are for paintings on flat panels. Cradled panels with 3/4" or 1.5" wood sides are an extra $40 (prices in parenthenses), but you will not need to frame them. I put the hardware on the back, so a cradled panel will be ready to hang on your wall as is.
    Stretched canvas or linen can also be substituted if you prefer a textured surface.

    • SMALL

      8x8" - $240

      8x10" - $280


      A perfect gift for the owner of a small pet. The square is good for the face, and the rectangle can fit a small pet's head and upper body.

    • MEDIUM

      12x12" - $360

      12x16" - $400


      This is a standard size for any kind of pet. The square is especially good for a headshot, while the rectangle can easily fit the full body of a smaller pet.

    • LARGE

      16x16" - $520

      16x20" - $560


      This size is ideal for large pets, full body images and/or multiple pets. A more elaborate background is also possible. Up to 2 pets are included in the prices listed. Additional pets are $50 each.

    Photography Guidelines

    The best photos lead to the best paintings. Below are some guidelines for choosing or taking a photo of your pet. Sometimes it's not possible to have a high quality image, but please be aware of the limitations of the resulting painting. A low quality image is best suited to a less realistic, more "graphic" depiction, which I can also do for you.

    DO's

    • Clear light source
    • Good color variation
    • In focus
    • Level with the pet's face
    • 3/4 or front view (unless you have a strong preference for a side view)
    • For black fur, please be sure there is enough light for me to see some variation in color and the shape of your pet.

    DON'Ts

    • Blurry
    • Dark
    • No clear light source
    • Poor color visibility
    • Too close (results in distortion)
    • Too far (can't see details)
    • Taken above the pet/looking down at the pet
    • Over or under exposed (can't see details)
