Nancy Bass Pet Portraits - Nationwide
Painting portraits of animals that show the individual personality and beauty is my passion.
I have been painting animals for over thirty five years. When my family moved to Virginia and started raising cattle I began my love for capturing the likeness of our cows in oil paint. I have painted commissions of many dogs, cats, cows, and wild animals and teach workshops in the art of painting animals.
For commissions I begin with photos which I take myself or the client takes with their phone. We decide on the best photo to capture your pet and the size of your finished painting. I ask for a 50% deposit to start. You will receive images of the portrait in progress and can suggest changes.
Let me know if I can answer any questions and get started on a special original oil painting for you to enjoy.
Please contact and book me through Petworks. Have a great day!

My most popular oil painting portrait is 6” x 6”. ,oil on board in a simple floater white washed frame. This portrait can find a place in any home and is an intimate gift to cherish for a lifetime.
