Order

Thank you for your interest in a custom painting! Please submit the form below, and we can proceed with next steps as soon as possible.

The order process:

After filling out the form below, you can expect an email from me to discuss details of your commission. I will review your photo attachment(s) to determine the best pose, lighting, and colors for the painting. Once we agree upon the specifics of the painting, as well as pricing, shipping, and deadlines, I will send email you a contract and invoice. Payment of the invoice indicates your understanding of, and consent to, the contract.

Photos (pet portraits):

Pet portraits will be painted directly from photo reference. In order to provide the best painting possible, please be thoughtful in what photos you use. Here are some tips for choosing quality photos:

• Angle: get on their level! It’s easy to snap a picture of our pets looking up at us, but the best photos will be from the same level as your pet, looking straight at them.
• Lighting: Look for photos of your pet in direct and full lighting, with a lit side and shadow side of your pet’s face.
• Photo quality: The best photos will allow me to see the color and reflections in the eyes. If the photo isn’t close enough or the focus and resolution is too low, it may pose too great a challenge to paint.

Due to concerns over copyright, I will not use professional photos of your pet for reference.

Without appropriate reference photo(s) of your pet, I may not be able to take your commission. I understand that you may not have access to quality photos, and will do my best to work with you.

Photos (keepsake portraits):

Because I approach keepsake portraits with a more illustrative style, I depend less on photos as my only reference. Please provide whatever pictures or descriptions you can so I can best capture the subject.

Pricing:

The following prices are for some of the more standard sizes. If you wish to discuss other sizes or subjects, please choose “other” in the form below and specify your request in the notes.

Prices include shipping within the continental United States. Shipping prices elsewhere will be discussed through email.
