Accepting Commissions for 2026
PET PORTRAITS
Realistic acrylic and oil paintings of your pets
Each of my pet portraits is created using high-quality acrylic or oil paints on 1.5-inch-thick traditional canvases with painted edges, making them ready to hang or frame. You can choose the background color, or I can select one that complements the painting best.
​
Once completed, each portrait is finished with a protective satin varnish that enhances the colors and ensures the artwork lasts a lifetime. All paintings come with a certificate of authenticity.
Many of my commissions feature horses and dogs. Feel free to reach out for birds, bunnies, reptiles, cats, and more. All animals are welcome!

Timeline
The entire process, from beginning the painting to shipping, usually takes 2-4 months. Oil paintings need minimum 2 additional months to be varnished and dried before shipping.
You’ll receive a photo of the finished painting before shipping, and final payment is due upon approval, minus the deposit. Please let me know if you have a preferred date of completion.
​
Please note, the timeline starts when I begin working on your painting. After submitting your commission request, I’ll provide an estimated start date based on my current waitlist.

Choosing a reference photo
Choosing the right reference photo is crucial to creating a great painting. While some photos may hold deep meaning, they might not always translate well into a stunning portrait.
​
Having clear, high-quality reference photos is key to capturing all the fine details of your pet, allowing me to accurately portray their unique features.​​
