Ordering a Commissioned Pet Portrait

With the variety of options available, you can be involved as much or as little as you like in the creation of your pet's portrait.
I can add or take away backgrounds, remove collars, add or remove age (gray hair) and even use a variety of photos to combine
and get just the right expression. If you like, I can e-mail you photos of your pet portrait in progress so you can give your input.

  • Contact me to order. The chart above will give you a ballpark idea as to prices. After discussing your needs, I will give you an exact quote. A 50% deposit is required on all commissions with the balance due upon completion.
  • Progress: I can e-mail you photos of the progress of your portrait as I work which allows for your input. Since I will not be able to meet your pet, your thoughts and suggestions are valuable to ensure that the personality of your pet shines through in the final painting.
  • Completion: I will send you an e-mail photo of your finished painting for your approval. At that time the balance is due. I use USPS Priority Mail for shipping in the United States and Canada. Shipping fees and insurance are included to shipments in the lower 48 states. Any photos used during the painting process will be returned with the finished portrait. I will notify you the day I ship giving you the tracking number to follow the shipment of your completed portrait.
