Pet Commissions in Acrylic or Oils
Commission of your vehicle or home in Watercolor/Pen and Ink
Ready to create a lasting memory of your loved one?
1. Send me pictures of your pet.
Several photos are needed to get necessary information of color and details. We can discuss what pose will make the best painting. If you are in the Central Florida area, I can visit and take my own photos. A portrait is possible even if your pet has passed and you have only a limited amount of photos available.
2. Pick your size
Sizes start at 10”x10” which accommodates only one subject, and can go as large 3’x4’ which can include several pets. Or you might want to dedicate a separate canvas to each pet for an attractive grouping on your wall. Prices are very reasonable - starting at $200.
Discounts for multiple subjects and/or canvases. Check out the samples above for ideas.
3. Your painting is started with a 50% down payment. Painting takes about 2-4 weeks, drying/varnish time is about 1 week. If you are in a rush, I will do my best to accommodate. I offer two options in styles:
1. Modern mixed media on a collaged background that can include small mementoes. It is painted on a deep, cradled birchwood panel. The edges will be painted and no frame is needed.
2. Traditional oil painting on panel/canvas that requires a frame (I can advise and help with that).
I can deliver locally, you can pick up at my studio, or I can ship anywhere in the U.S.
On the left is a sample of the modern painting style. It's a more whimsical style achieved by zooming in on the face and incorporating collage pieces like different fabrics, and the pet's name in the background (if you wish). I will paint this in acrylics.
On the right is a sample of traditional oil painting that will be required to be framed (without mat or glass). This style results in a more realistic representation of the subject.
