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.

This is a 9x12" oil painting portrait of a beautiful dog called Herman. This dog is very special and I am honored that I had an opportunity to paint him.

This portrait was done in oil paints and the size of the canvas is 16x20". The frame is a great compliment to this portrait and to the client's home. This was completed in 2022.
