Hi, my name is Lisa Ann and I am a self taught watercolor artist. I started selling my work in 2015 and began painting pet portraits for folks in 2018. I'll paint a beautiful watercolor of your pet from a photograph that you provide. Click into the listing to see some samples of my work.

Our pets are family. Why not get a watercolor painting of your fur baby to include with your other family pictures. A unique piece of art to cherish always. You can add one to your gallery wall, so cute in the kids room or your office. Some folks have one done as a keepsake for a precious family member who has crossed the rainbow bridge. My hope is when you look at your personal painting it will bring you happiness and make you smile.

My most popular size is for an 8x10 watercolor painting as detailed in this listing. If you need something a little different, please contact me and ask. I am open to custom requests.

This listing is for a custom, original Watercolor painting created from a photograph you provide.

I currently offer an 8x10 painting size for $145.00

Your picture will be painted on 140 lb. watercolor paper using Artist grade pigments.
The watercolor comes unframed and includes an additional 1/4" white border for ease of framing.
(so actual paper size will be approx. 8.5x10.5 inches)

Please contact me with a copy of your photograph prior to purchase so we can iron out any concerns before painting begins. Once your payment is received it can take 1-2 weeks for me to paint your image.

I ship USPS nationwide.

Due to the nature of the item, custom portraits cannot be returned or refunded unless they arrived defective or damaged.

Copyright on the original painting is retained by the artist.
