Custom Oil Pet Portraits - Nationwide
I create fine‑art oil portraits of pets based on your photos, using a realistic, detail‑focused approach that highlights the individuality of each animal. Every portrait is depicted entirely by hand with professional materials to ensure a timeless, museum‑quality result suitable for framing and long‑term preservation. I serve clients nationwide and work from clear reference photos, making the process simple and accessible no matter where you live.
As a self‑taught artist with 30 years of experience and 7 years dedicated specifically to pet portraiture, I’ve developed a style grounded in realism, structure, and expressive detail. My goal is to create portraits that feel alive—capturing not just the likeness of your pet, but their personality, presence, and spirit.
I currently offer portraits in 16x20 size. My process includes reviewing your reference photos, discussing pose and expression, and creating a carefully composed painting that reflects the best qualities of your pet. Each portrait is crafted with patience, precision, and respect for the subject, resulting in a fine‑art piece that can be cherished for years to come.
Whether you’re looking for a memorial portrait, a meaningful gift, or a custom artwork of a beloved companion, I provide clear communication, dependable service, and a fully hand‑made, traditional oil portrait created with professional technique and care.

🎨 Al Gutierrez — Order Custom Pet Portraits Online, Shipped Nationwide
Al Gutierrez creates custom pet portraits ordered entirely online and shipped nationwide anywhere in the United States. Unlike Pet Portrait Artists, PetWorks' local category for hiring an artist near you, Custom Pet Portraits is built for pet parents who want to order online and have their portrait shipped to their door, regardless of location.
Whether you're looking for a realistic oil painting, a vibrant watercolor, a charcoal drawing, or a stylized digital illustration, Al works with you to create a one-of-a-kind portrait that captures your pet's personality, spirit, and the qualities that make them yours.
Ordering with Al : What to Expect
Ordering a custom pet portrait with Al is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins online. Share your favorite photos of your pet, discuss the style and medium that appeals to you, and talk through any specific ideas or requests you have in mind.
Al takes the time to understand not just what your pet looks like, but who they are: their character, their quirks, and the qualities that make them yours.
From there, Al gets to work. Most custom pet portrait artists on PetWorks share progress photos along the way, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback and request adjustments before the portrait is complete. Once you're happy with the result, your finished portrait is shipped directly to your door or delivered as a digital file, depending on the medium and your preference. Most orders are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Al before ordering, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.

Al Gutierrez accepts custom pet portrait orders from anywhere in the United States. The entire process happens online, you upload your photos, correspond through PetWorks, and receive your finished portrait by mail or digital delivery, no matter where you are.
🦔 How to Order from Al on PetWorks
On Al Gutierrez's listing page, use 'Book Now' to place your order directly, or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Send Message' to start a conversation about your portrait.

When you're ready, payment is handled securely through PetWorks: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, Link, or Klarna. Care Coverage at checkout gives you access to PetWorks' live Concierge team, full refunds if an order is canceled through no fault of yours, and help resolving any issues along the way.
Tips for a Great Custom Pet Portrait
Getting the most out of your order starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best. Natural light is your friend, since flash-heavy photos tend to flatten features and wash out color. Capture a few different expressions and angles if you can: a close-up of the face, a relaxed resting shot, and a playful or characteristic pose gives your artist the most to work with.
Beyond photos, the more you can share about your pet's personality the better. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront. Most custom pet portrait artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, custom pet portrait orders in the US typically range from $75–$200 for small portraits, $200–$500 for medium, and $500–$1,200 or more for large or multi-pet works. Browse Al 's pricing packages above for specific rates.
