** This is a sample of a dog portrait. **

A custom portrait of your dog from your favorite photo! Can be painted on a thick gallery wrapped canvas (1 1/2") with sides painted and hung unframed, or choose a thin gallery wrapped canvas (7/8") to hang in a frame. Frame not provided.

Where to start:

1) Photos – I create a painting from your photos - meaning the better the photos, the better your dog’s portrait will be. A few clear, close up shots in natural light will work. Try getting down to your dog’s eye level and fill the camera lens with your dogs face. Try different angles and take lots of photos. Avoid using a flash as it can sometimes wash out colors and create red - eye.

2) Decide background colors – If you have a favorite color or want to match the décor of a particular room let me know.
Options: Cool palette (blues, greens, purples)
Warm palette (reds, oranges and yellows)
Neutral palette (creams, browns, grays)


3) Decide texture options – I can add extra interest to the paintings by adding some texture.
Options: Your dogs name, a favorite phrase or saying,
a bone or simple toy can all be added in the background texture.

4) Decide on a size -

8” x 8” -------------------- $ 120 (one dog only) + tax
10”x10” or 9” x 12” ------ $ 145 (one dog only) + tax
12”x 12” or 11” x 14” ---- $ 165 (one dog only) + tax

All portraits are produced with artist grade acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

5) Choose thick canvas or thin canvas.
6) Choose Matte or Gloss final varnish.

7) Upon receipt of payment, I will contact you to discuss details of portrait and projected completion date. Most portraits take 2 weeks to complete depending on my schedule. When the painting is complete, I will send you a photo by e-mail for final approval. Small adjustments can be made then. Paintings are finished with two coats of matte or gloss varnish before wrapped and shipped.
