Jil Gordon - Graphite and Oil Pet Portraits - Nationwide

Hello, I'm pet portrait artist Jil Gordon. I'm based in Delray Beach, Florida. A portrait touches someone when it truly captures the personality of the loved one. This is where I excel in my passion for detail. It can be that miniscule eye twinkle, curly coat or neck scarf, that can make the portrait so special. My illustrations and paintings are very personal, as I come to know the beloved pet and create with depth and detail. There are not many things that are more special than an illustrated or painted portrait, as a gift or simply a memorable treasure. I would love to create, share and bring that joy to you.

Since I work from photographs, (I have not yet known a pet to be still for a sitting) - it is necessary to submit the highest resolution images in jpg, eps or tif formats. Old or blurred images are not the easiest to work with, but I do my best. When trying to capture great photos - avoid, bright sunny days that create shadows and avoid very busy backgrounds, unless that is what is desired for the commission. The process is first the initial contact with a photo of your pet, type of portrait (illustration or painting), overall size and timeframe. I will then give you an estimate. If accepted, then a returned signed contract with 50% deposit is required. Please contact and book me on Petworks.
