- If the fur and eye color varies from photo to photo, identify which photo shows the correct color
- Send a photo that shows the pose you would like the animal in, if possible
- I prefer to have 35mm photos to borrow, but I can work from digital photos if the resolution and size is large enough to be able to print out and see detail (low res images may be too blurry). Email your photos to animalart@carolina.rr.com.
I specialize in creating original portraits of your beloved pets from your photographs.
To order, first choose the size portrait you want. The prices for one animal are as follows:
Colored pencil portraits on acid free smooth watercolor paper:
Oil painting on canvas (includes basic background):
Next, send me your photos. Remember that better photos make better portraits.
Colored pencil portraits usually take 3-4 weeks to complete. Portraits with multiple subjects or those commissioned during holiday months may take longer. Oil paintings take longer because of drying time needed. If you need your portrait by a certain date or occasion, please let me know. Payment is due on delivery; your satisfaction is guaranteed - if you are not happy with the results, you don't have to buy it. If you have any questions, please contact me at 704-393-0872 or animalart@carolina.rr.com.
