The World Perceived Through Art
commission a custom pet portrait.
Acrylic on Stretched Cotton Canvas
Honor your furry loved ones with hand-painted portraits created from reference photos that you provide. Please scroll down to see photo requirements. The depth of the canvas comes in 3 choices -
7/8' (traditional profile) - Best if you plan to have it framed.
1.5" (gallery profile) - The painting is carried over the sides, no frame needed.
2- 3/8" (museum profile) - The painting is carried over the sides, no frame needed.
Each painting is created using high-quality materials. Professional-grade acrylic paints are used to render your pet on premium grade 10 oz. cotton canvas that is stretched over kiln dried stretcher bars. The completed painting is coated with an isolation coat and then sealed with a UV protective clear coat. The isolation allows for the top clear coat to be safely removed from the painting and then reapplied should there ever be damage to the surface of the painting such as smoke or staining. Care instructions are included with each painting.

The Process
In order to receive a quote, please be prepared to answer the following questions-
-
What size and depth would you like your canvas?
-
How many pets will be included in the painting?
-
Are you envisioning a portrait or landscape orientation?
-
What type of background would you like in the painting?
-
Is this a gift, is it needed within a specific time frame?
-
Do you have access to clear color-accurate, digital photos of your pet and the ability to email them?
Once you have considered the above, please call, e-mail, or fill out the quote request below. I can help you with any of the details that you are unsure of. After having all of the required information, I will create a sketch of the layout for your approval. At this point, a 50% deposit is due to start the painting, and the balance is due upon completion.
What constitutes a good reference photo?
Please make sure photos are-
-
Sharp and clear.
-
To the best of your ability, include at least one picture with your pet in the position you would like them to be in the painting.
-
Try to take the photo in natural light so that the pet's coloring is as accurate as possible.
-
Please do not send pictures that are grainy or have filters applied. A minimum of 150 dpi is recommended.
-
Please include several additional photos of your pet, not necessarily in the same pose, but ones that help me determine the size, build, coloring, and even the personality of your pet.
-
Include any additional reference photos of your ideas for the painting, including backgrounds, design elements, etc.
