Whether you're celebrating a new furry addition to your family or honoring a beloved pet who has passed away, choosing to have a custom portrait created is a meaningful process. It brings me joy to capture the essence of your furry friend.
CONCEPT
The first thing we'll do is discuss your idea via email, video chat, or locally with coffee. We will talk about the project details (subject matter, size, composition, etc.) and an estimated time-frame for completion.
CREATE
Using the concepts we discussed, I'll head to the drawing board and create a detailed initial sketch. The sketch will be sent to you via email for your approval to make sure we are on the same page before any actual painting begins.
DELIVER
Once I am finished with your personal watercolor, I will carefully package the painting for delivery. We can arrange a hand delivery if you're local, or I'll ship the artwork (along with tracking) as soon as payment is received.
Meet Khaleesi! I was commissioned to paint this little lady along with her brother (Destro) for a Christmas gift.
The details discussed for this piece were as follows:
Art size: 11" x 14"
Layout: portrait
Pose: Sitting posture
Extra: Subtle illusion of grass
Timeline: less than 3 months
1. We compiled a few photos in Photoshop since the original image with the body had her face looking the other way.
2. Once we had a strong image to work from, I sketched it out keeping the details we discussed in mind.
3. The final painting turned out beautifully! I had the pleasure of meeting Khaleesi in person, and let me tell you that I have yet to pet a dog with a softer coat!
Please note that the price listed below reflects the cost for a head portrait only (frame not included). If a painting with multiple pet portraits are desired, an additional $100 per pet will be added to the overall price. Full body and multiple pet portraits are more complex and require additional time to complete.
We were meant to create and share beauty and joy with the world. The value of art (in my opinion) is not found in the popularity of the artist, or in their skill level. The value is found in the connection between the giver and receiver. From artist to friend.
I hope my work will bring joy and beauty into your home.
