Pet Portraits

I love painting animals of all kinds, which probably accounts for part of my fascination with painting them on rocks. I do paint custom pet portraits, on paper, stone, or canvas. Pet Portraits start at $35 and up, depending on size, materials and complexity. Here are two examples.
Tuxedo Kitten 8x10 inches, acrylic on canvas

Bella 5x7 inches, acrylic on paper
An easy way to order your Pet Portrait is to email me you best photos along with an idea of what you would like, paper, canvas or stone and the size. Then I can reply with your quote and if I will need additional photos. For stone portraits it is always helpful to have photos from all sides of the animal as well as a sharp close up of the face. Once we have agreed to all the details I will send  you an invoice for a 50% deposit, with the balance due on delivery and your approval.
