I work from photos to create pet portraits and strive to capture the personality of the pet.  Great photos that capture the pet perfectly can be drawn or painted as custom portraits that will provide enjoyment for years to come.  

I use Colored Pencil and Colored Ink on Paper or Acrylic on Canvas to create the portraits.  I tend to do more detailed portraits with the Colored Pencils on Paper, but I enjoy working in both mediums and with various styles. 

I price the portraits by size and number of pets.  The prices are for a 'studio' background.  Custom backgrounds need to be priced individually, but in some cases will not increase the price.

Each additional Pet in a portrait is an additional 80% of the price of the first Pet.  Custom backgrounds for portraits are priced individually.
