Springfield Illinois - Watercolor Pet Portrait Paintings - Nationwide
Bright, vivid, hand-painted, hand-drawn watercolor portrait of your pet. I work with you using photos of your critter. We work together to pic the right size, background, details, personality.
I am a Mid-Western girl. I have been drawing and painting since birth. Animals are my love. They are all special and deserve to be remembered in a special way.
Portraits are painted on either the traditional watercolor paper or more modern watercolor canvas. Price is same either way.
I will paint ANY animal (real or fantasy)! Pricing will vary depending on complexity of painting

Dogs, Cats, Horses, Birds, Lizards (5 x 7 - $75, 8 x 10 - $150, 11 x 14 - $250, 16 x 20 - $450)
