Keep the conversation going with my portraits of wildlife and farm animals! My paintings of threatened species like the prairie dog can encourage discussion on several topics ranging from wildlife conservation to environmental advocacy. My livestock and farm animal portraits might remind your guests of happy times on the ranch or stir up memories of their favorite horses and hens.
Do you have zoo creatures you attend to, livestock you wrangle or domestic farm animals that you care for? Are you a wildlife expert with a fondness for all things untamed? Have you chosen a critter that represents your personality, or do you have a spirit animal who visits you in your dreams? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, check out my ready-to-display animal paintings or contact me to have one customized, just for you!
Whether it is a dog, cat, chicken, farm animal, wild animal, bird, insect or reptile—I will paint your subject with a thoughtful combination of realism and/or Dia de Los Muertos (sugar skull) styles to give you the best of both worlds: a whimsical feel and an accurate illustration of your animal—from head to toe, inside and out.

🌟 About Robin Arthur
Robin is a professional pet portrait artist based in Paonia, CO, serving clients locally and nationwide through PetWorks. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Robin creates handcrafted portraits that go far beyond what a photograph can offer — each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision. Robin is a recognized and top-rated artist on PetWorks, trusted by pet owners across the country to deliver portraits that are cherished for a lifetime.
What to Expect When Working with Robin
Commissioning a portrait with Robin is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation — you'll 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. Robin 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, Robin gets to work. Most 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 you or delivered as a digital file — depending on the medium and your preference. Most portraits are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Robin before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
🦔 How to Book Robin on PetWorks
On Robin Arthur's listing page, use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' to start a conversation about your commission. Robin will discuss your vision, answer any questions, and send you a personalized quote through the PetWorks inbox — because the right artist fit matters, and taking a few minutes to correspond before committing is always worth it.
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 a booking is canceled through no fault of yours, and help resolving any issues along the way — so you can focus on your portrait with complete peace of mind.
Tips for a Great Portrait
Getting the most out of your commission starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best — natural light is your friend, and 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. Is your dog goofy and energetic, or calm and dignified? Does your cat have a signature expression? The small details you share help Robin bring genuine character to the portrait rather than simply reproducing a likeness. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront — most artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, pet portrait commissions 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 Robin's pricing packages above for specific rates.

What if my pet has passed away? Memorial portraits are one of the most meaningful commissions you can make.

Many PetWorks artists have extensive experience with memorial work and approach it with particular care and sensitivity.
Does Robin ship nationwide? Yes — all orders through PetWorks are handled entirely online. You upload your photos, correspond through the platform, and receive your finished portrait by mail or digital delivery regardless of where you are in the country.
What if I'm not happy with the result? PetWorks' Care Coverage gives you access to the live Concierge team and help resolving any booking issues.
