I create your custom oil painting using a favorite photograph or two as inspiration. I pride myself on my ability to capture both your dog's likeness and her spirit as well. My most frequent reaction from my clients is that I completely captured their dog’s personality.

Ideally the photos you send me will be taken in good light that accurately shows your dog's color and features. (But if they’re not, don’t worry, I’ll figure it out!) If you are taking new photos try taking outdoors in late afternoon light. A side note about photo-taking: People tend to take photos standing over their dog looking down. While a good photo might result, often it distorts the size of the head too much compared to the body and doesn't always make for a good photo to paint from. When you take a photo get down at eye level with your dog. And who knows you might get some kisses while you're there:)

After we’ve picked a photo to work from, I’ll suggest how I’d recommend cropping it, we pick a size and I’m ready to paint!

I typically can get your painting to you in 2-3 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.
