when will my pet portrait be done?
Each portrait is unique, and the creative process can be a delicate matter. For that reason, I ask that you please allow 4-6 weeks for your portrait to be complete.
If your oder is a rush, please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate you. |
do you work from photographs?
While I love to work from real life whenever I can, with pets and animals this is just impossible! So I use photos of your pet or animal that you supply. Additionally, I like to have a 20-minute phone consultation with you, at no charge, to learn first-hand what makes your animal special. From these conversations and the photos, I create a portrait worthy of your animal’s unique nature. Due to the nature of the artistic process, this is usually accomplished within 4-6 weeks. If you have a special rush order, please let us know and we'll do our best toaccomodate.
While art is a delicate matter, your satisfaction is very important to me. I strive to create pieces that will delight my clients while enduring over time. When your painting is complete, I will send you the image, via email, for your approval.
artist's statement
What is most important to me in creating an animal portrait is capturing the personality, as well as the likeness of your pet. Equally important is that the finished product be a sophisticated work of art in its own right. I believe paintings have their own life. As a painter I do not control this, I merely discover it. When I’ve been successful at my job, the life of the painting, as well as that of the subject – in this case your pet or animal – become palpable. |
