Naugatuck CT Pet Portraits by Judy - Nationwide

Verified Member since Dec 2020 Verified checkmark

Hi pet lovers! I am a Connecticut-based commission artist, caricaturist who loves creating pet portraits! I create them full color in pastel and/or can do BW and charcoal from photo(s) you provide, NOT live in person. I may venture into acrylic as well at some point in the future. I also started painting digitally on ipad and can create a digitally painted pet portrait for upload and printing on your end, or can have a laser or inkjet print made and mounted ( see handful of samples).

My starting price listed is for a color pastel/ color pencil 8x10 matted (6x8ish image headshot) , and I offer matted or unmatted full image, in increasing sizes up to 16x20 matted size or any size if painted digitally, as prints are made and digital allows enlarging and reducing on iPad in creative process to allow for more detail. In traditional medium, I prefer to paint headshot/busts only, however if it’s a larger size (or digitally done) I can do full body if desired, or digitally to be printed in any size, because of flexibility. I can also create pet memorial cards from your portrait, for a furry friend who has passed, and pet caricatures! Please contact and book me through Petworks. Have a great day!
