Pet Portrait Commissions

These original works make wonderful gifts that will be cherished and remembered.

A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THAT PET LOVER ON YOUR LIST !!!

I have been painting in oils for over 40 years and am now offering inexpensive original oil paintings of your pet from photos or jpegs. All paintings are on canvas panels using professional quality paints and materials that will literally last for centuries (I have paintings on canvas panels that I did in the 1960's and they look like they were painted yesterday).

THESE ARE ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS - NOT PRINTS OR COMPUTER MANIPULATIONS OR TRANSFERS. I PERSONALLY PAINT AND SIGN EACH PAINTING.

PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THESE WITH THE ANONYMOUSLY PRODUCED, UNSIGNED AND RATHER WOODEN APPEARING PICTURES OFFERED FROM FOREIGN GROUP "WORKSHOPS."

Paintings are all 8 inches by 10 inches and will be delivered in a simple wooden frame (included in the price) ready to hang on your wall or display on a tabletop. I have found this to be a very nice size that displays easily in many different areas. Other sizes are available, please contact me for details.

PAYMENT AND PHOTOS: Upon receipt of your payment (PayPal preferred) email contact will be established and arrangements made for either the mailing of your photos or the emailing of your jpeg's. All photos will be returned with the oil painting portrait. Your painting will be done based on the photos or jpegs (preferred) you send so please indicate which one is the pose you want in your pet's portrait. It is also important that you indicate which of the images shows your pet's true color. As a true pet lover and longtime pet owner I welcome any information you wish to offer regarding your pet that will help me infuse the painting with their personalty.

APPROVAL PROCESS: Once I receive your photos the oil portrait of your pet will be completed within three weeks (usually less) and a jpeg of the painting will be emailed to you for your approval. Any modifications you wish to suggest will be cheerfully accepted.

SHIPPING: Once approved, I will carefully pack your painting and mail it to you at a flat rate charge of $12 within the United States. Please inquire for international shipping charges.

VARNISHING: Your original oil painting will arrive protected by a light coat of varnish called retouch varnish which, while protective, will still allow your painting to dry further. Once totally dry (6 months to a year) you can easily obtain and apply the final coat of picture varnish for further protection if you wish.
