The Other Family Member - Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide
I love painting portraits of Peeps and Pups! Pet owners know that their other family member is special and enjoy finding ways to record memories throughout their lives. Just as people have hundreds of expressions, so do pets. You know all the little things that make your loved one special and unique such as a tilt of the head, wrinkle of the forehead, or perk of an ear and I enjoy capturing those subtle nuances that you love so much. I enjoy painting unique animals as well such as chickens and rabbits and look forward to exploring the animal kingdom even more. Most often, however, cats and dogs are requested. I paint mainly from photo, but if local, would love to meet your other family member! Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank you.
Pricing Packages
Standard charge is $2.00 per square inch (example: 10 X 10 canvas = $200) for a single subject. Extra charge for each additional subject on a single canvas ( example, 2 dogs = $75.00; 3 dogs = $150 extra). Will not paint on a size less than 10 X 10 due to inability to represent the subject well in a smaller format. Frame not included. Shipping to be added to final cost.
