This picture of the dog below was created using pastels size 11x14This picture of the cat below was created using acrylics size 11x14Basically, the better the photo/digital image, the better the painting. Send me what you have and I will respond to you as fast as I can, to let you know if it will will work.

Photos/digital images: please take photo without a flash. Ideal lighting is outside in the morning light or afternoon lite with the sun  coming from the side or 3/4 view. You can also use a lamp if photo is taken inside without the flash.  Please note... if your cat/dog or?? moves too much for the camera, look and see if you have an action mode in the camera or cell phone.. if you do use it and hold the button down to take continuous photos..then you will be able to catch the picture you want!!

Once your photo or digital image is approved I will ask you to place a 40% deposit into my paypal account. If this doesn't work for you, please ask me about other possiblities to getting me a deposit before I can start your painting.

My prices start at around 225.00+ for a single portrait (mug shot, (11x14) and start at around 350.00+ for a double portrait 16x20 (head and shoulders). If you want a larger painting eg. 18x24 the price is higher.  Full figured portrait prices vary in accordance to complexity. If it was just a mug shot, (showing just the face and shoulders) it could be 275.00 for a 16x20. If you would like an action shot,.. eg. a horse/dog/cat/cow running through a field it would cost more. Send me your picture for a quote! Don't be shy now!!

Please note: acrylic paintings are a bit higher in cost than pastel paintings, (25-30%)  as they take longer to create and they are painted on gallery wrap canvas. Tax is not included in estimated prices! Prices are not carved in stone. Please send me your proposed photo when you contact me for specifics on pricing!

Every portrait is special. You are special. .. and your pet is special!
If you want your special pet in a unique background eg. mountains in the back, wading through water, flowers etc, the price will go up a bit depending on complexity.

If you have a small space, and want a small portrait eg. birthday present for you "sister or friend" I can create a close up (11x14) face only for AROUND 200.00-225.00 (pastels)+-. Price varies.

For a single portrait face only, 8x10 closeup is about 125.00 depending on complexity. Send me your photo or digital image and I will let you know if I can work from that. Acrylics are 25.00 higher in price.

Example of cropping:     This picture is only 8x10 inches! Closeup. Loose, almost impressionistic, yet it captures the personality and likeness! These original 8x10s are created to catch the essence of your pet for around 125.00-150.00. They make GREAT  GiFTS!!

If you want something whimsical, I can do that too, prices vary.
