BFF Pet Paintings - Denver Colorado Pet Portraits - Nationwide
I paint custom oil paintings on canvas from your photos. Paintings start at $625. I’ve been painting pets full time since 2010. Usually it’s cats, dogs and horses but occasionally I’ll get some interesting subjects like a rabbits, hamsters, raccoons, birds, chicken or just a nice landscape. I ask for a 50% deposit and then the balance when I’m finished and you’re happy with the painting.
I meticulously hand-paint each of my pet portraits to capture the spirit and character of your furry friend. Send me your favorite photo of your BFF and a bit about his/her personality, and I’ll create a custom oil painting you’ll enjoy for years to come.
I’ve had a passion for painting animals all my life. My parents fostered my love of art by enrolling me in classes at the age of 7, which I continued weekly for nine years. While pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Art from San Diego State University, I honed my oil painting skills. I’ve been happily painting animals and landscapes for more than 25 years.
I currently reside in Denver, Colorado, but have hundreds of satisfied customers across the United States and the world.
Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank you.

Customer Reviews
We've had David paint several portraits of our pets over the last couple years. He's considerate and professional and his paintings are treasured keepsakes for us. We miss our kitties terribly, but David's portraits provide us with warm reminders of our time with them.
- Douglas BHighly recommended! Great as a gift or a great memento for yourself. I had two small paintings done, one of my first beloved Boston Terrier Gizmo (which he was able to great a great likeness of him with pictures I sent since he went to The Rainbow Bridge on 12/8/14), and one of my new pups Apollo. David was great to work with from start to finish and he captured exactly what I was looking for (especially in my pup that passed away). These a great mementos which I will treasure throughout the years. Again I highly recommend him and would have him do more paintings of beloved pets in the future. Thanks David! - Savannah, GA
