Custom Pet Portraits

Their little face. An original painting.

The crooked ear. The serious little expression. That look they give you when dinner is five minutes late.

I’ll paint your pet by hand from a favorite photo, creating a small original filled with the details that make them yours.

How it works

1. Send me a photo.
A clear photo taken in natural light works best. I’ll check that I can see your pet’s features and help you choose if you’re unsure.

2. Reserve your spot.
Once we’ve agreed on the photo, background, and estimated shipping date, I’ll send you a checkout link. Payment reserves your place.

3. I’ll paint your portrait.
I’ll work in the loose, painterly style shown in the examples, paying special attention to your pet’s expression.

4. A little happy mail.
I’ll share a finished photo, then carefully package your painting and send it home.

A few helpful details

Can you paint cats, too?

Absolutely. Dogs and cats are both welcome.

Can you include two pets or a detailed setting?

This small portrait offer includes one pet and a simple background. For multiple pets, larger paintings, or a special setting, contact me for a separate quote.

Is it a good gift?

Yes! Let me know your gift date when you send the photo so I can confirm whether the timing works. For Christmas, order by December 5.

What if my photo isn’t perfect?

Send what you have. I’ll take a look and let you know whether it will work before you purchase.
