Colorado Watercolor Pet Portrait Artist - Nationwide

Member since Sep 2019

Hello, I'm Taryn and I've been painting professionally in watercolor for over a decade. All I need is a photo, and I can paint any animal or other subject/s for you. The better the photo, the easier it is to produce a beautiful painting, but because I paint these the old fashioned way with pain and paper, and don't rely on the computer in any way, I can work with even the lowest quality images.

I'll send a picture to you before I mail the painting to make sure you love it, and I ship via 1-3 day Priority Mail for free in the US, and by 1st-class internationally for $5.

These pet portraits, painted with Windsor & Newton watercolor paints on quality watercolor paper, are a beautiful way to honor your beloved four-legged family. I have painted cat, dog, horse, iguana and more, and I'll paint your pet and partner in crime into a lovely piece of art in the following sizes (prices are for one subject and a simple background, I'm happy to paint humans or multiple pets in the painting as well, just ask for a price!):

5x7 inches- $85
8x10 - $125
11x14 - $150

A portion of the proceeds from all custom pet portraits will be donated to a local animal rescue/shelter! Please contact and book me through Petworks. Thanks, and have a great day!
