Pet Portraits
ANIMAL PORTRAIT COMMISSIONS
In order to execute a portrait the artist requires client to send a group of photographs that client believes captures the spirit and appearance of your four-legged companion. From those the artist sketches the animal in whatever composition I believe works best. I cannot “copy” a particular photograph, but rather I use them all to come up with what I believe will a) result in a strong painting in its own right and b) capture a particular animal’s likeness.
I do send an image of the preparatory sketch to the client before I begin painting as well as a photograph of the completed work. I always aim to make the piece timeless, evocative and truthful. My belief is that a successful portrait is both a beautiful painting and an accurate rendering of your pet. Portrait fees (unframed) for head/chest portrait. Shipping included. Payment is due at the time of completion and shipped upon receipt of fees.
