Sensitive Pet Portraits - Etsy Painter Artist - Boulder, CO
I've been doing sensitive portraits of pets as part of my Bold Modern Art business for over 15 years. My goal with every oil painting (small or large) is to provide you with a one-of-a-kind work of art. I don't have a formula. I try to approach each painting as if it's my first one. I can paint from your photos or if you are local to the Boulder / Denver area I can visit and take photos. I like to meet the pet if that is possible because it informs me during the design and painting process. I have been a pet owner myself for over 25 years so I understand the close bond we have with our furry friends. My prices start at $425 for an 11 x 14 oil painting in a black floater frame. Prices go up to several thousand for large works. (I once did a five dog oil portrait on a 24 x 48 canvas.) Please refer to my website and/or contact me anytime.
All the best,
Mike

A portrait that has additional requirements like including a specific car, motorcycle, or other whimsical details. I can also do other sizes large and small. Give me a call to discuss.
For example - two dogs or cat & dog, or two cats would be a Double Pet Portrait. I can do other sizes large and small. It's best to contact me to discuss your specific requirements.
