THESE ARE SAMPLES OF MY WORK. I create custom pet portraits from high quality images provided by my customers. I ask that you send me approximately 2-5 shots of the pet you want painted. I work primarily in oil paints.
The cost of the commission will be discussed when we speak. There are many variable that make up the price such as size, subject matter, background, etc.
Portrait prices do not include frames. You have a choice of framing it yourself or I will select a frame for you and let you know what the charge is.
Feel free to contact me through this site or call me at 203-942-0145 to discuss a portrait for someone you love! Please be aware that I will need approximately 2 months to complete the project depending on the time of year. Holidays may require more advanced notice due to volume.
Dog and Cat Portrait Commission
Sold Out
This is gorgeous 9" x 12" oil painting of Nala & Bad??? . If you think you see one green eye and one blue eye, your eyes are not playing tricks on you!

Their expressions translate well and certainly show their personalities. Reference photos of this type, make the best pet portraits!
