Pet Portraits
I always paint pet portraits from the photos you send me. Send me as many as 5-10 if you can as it is helpful when choosing the best photo for the portrait, however, the finished piece will come from the one photo chosen. If the portrait is to be of more than one pet I can compose the painting from single photos of each pet. You can email them to me or you can also mail them to me as prints or on a CD. I will return the prints to you along with the finished portrait. Before starting the portrait I will email you a final sketch of the portrait for your approval. You can contact me through this site with your requests or questions at anytime. I will try to get back to you within 24-48 hours. Please contact me as far in advance as possible to order a portrait. I can usually turn something around in a 2-week to a month period but I will let you know before accepting a payment if it will be longer.
I require a 50% nonrefundable deposit when I accept your commission and before starting the painting. When I have completed the portrait I will send you a digital copy via email. You may then review the painting and upon acceptance I require the balance due after which I will send the painting to you. Packing and shipping charges will be additional and I am happy to calculate those for you up front. Payment can be made either by check or PayPal.

Pet Portrait Pricing
The following prices are for single pet portraits with colored backgrounds and no borders. The watercolor pieces will be un-matted, on cold press professional grade watercolor paper, and the oils are on untreated high quality grade birch panels that will not stretch or warp, with a 1-2 inch cradle. The grain of the wood is often visible through the background color, adding a beautiful texture to the image. The sides of the panel are painted black and it can be wall mounted as is or framed to your specifications.
If you would like another pet or a more complex, bordered image like I create for the wild animal portraits please contact me and I am happy to make one. A two pet portrait will be higher in price but will final price will depend on the medium and size of the image, contact me for more info. For the procedure for ordering and the pricing bordered images, see the wild animal portrait info.

Wild Animal Portraits
I will paint wild animal portraits from either your photo references, or I can find my own references for no extra fee. In order to plan the borders I will need to have a brief phone conversation with you about what images are connected with your chosen animal in your experience. You can email photos to me or you can also mail them to me as prints or on a CD. I will return the prints to you along with the finished portrait. Before starting the portrait I will email you a final sketch of the portrait for your approval. You can contact me through this site with your requests or questions at anytime.

Wild Animal Portrait Pricing
The reason that there is a more limited selection of sizes and higher prices for these portraits is because of the time and detail work necessary to create the colorful and meaningful borders around each picture. If you would like a wild animal portrait in the simple background style of the pet portraits please contact me and I am happy to accommodate. Prices for the simple background pet portraits will apply.
