Pet Portrait Paintings and Drawings - Tampa, FL - Nationwide

Always remember your pet by ordering your pet portrait. Turn your pet photos into a drawing or painting. My portraits are 100% hand-drawn and painted. I use the finest materials, so your portrait last.

Why do I paint pet portraits? I love animals, and I love art, so I have combined my two passions in one. I love working on pet portraits. I am a pet owner, and I know how pets are part of the family. When someone orders a pet portrait, I know that person cares about their pet, and I know that my artwork will put a smile on someone's face or bring a happy memory to their hearts.

How long will it take for my portrait to be ready? For drawings, it could be a few days to a week. It all depends on the size and medium. For acrylic paintings, turn around 1 or 2 weeks after an order is placed. It all depends on size and how many people are in the picture. For oils, it might take a little bit more since I have to wait until it dries. Before placing the order, I will let you know the estimated time. It also depends on how many commissions I am working on at the time you place the order. Please let me know by what day you need them.
