I create your custom oil painting using a favorite photograph or two as inspiration. But the more you can send the better! Ideally your photos will be taken in good light that accurately shows your dog's color and features. Also ideal are photos taken at eye level rather than standing over the dog, as that can distort their features. After we’ve picked a photo as the main reference, we’ll discuss how I’d recommend cropping, background color and what canvas dimensions would work best.
And while most of my commission requests are for dogs and cats, please reach out if you’re interested in other animal portraits. Anything with fur, fluff, scales or feathers is great!
I typically can get your painting to you in 3 weeks. Holiday times get very busy, including Mother’s and Father’s Day. For Christmas and Chanukah I’m often booked up by October so reserve a spot early!
Payment is by Zelle, Venmo or check upon completion and approval of work.
