At first, I was thinking I could do this to just make a little extra income and have some consistent work coming in. But, after I’ve done a handful of these now, I’m really enjoying the process of getting to know a pet through my client’s eyes. Dogs and cats are so full of unconditional love, they really are our best friends and I love painting pet portraits!

I can tell my work is getting better too. Looking back at where I started last year, I see growth in my detail work. I didn’t know I’d love painting cats so much too. I love doing their big whiskers as a final touch. I wonder what other pets out there would be fun to try?

I love putting a flower or plant in the background that is indicative of the animal’s character. Something that is meaningful. I hope my clients enjoy these as much as I love making them!

Reach out to me if you’d like to order your pet portrait! I can do any size and shape, on canvas or wood. I paint from a photo, so close up, clear photos are best. Typically, prices are: $100 small, $150 medium, $200 large.
