Once we have agreed on the size and content of your portrait I will supply you with the final price of your painting including any shipping and handling charges (Please view my pricing guide below for a general list of sizes and prices.) and I will then be able to give you an approximate time frame of when you will be able to view the completed piece. Time frames for each order may vary greatly depending on content of portrait as well as the quality of the photographs supplied to me. Orders are completed in the order that they are received. While I try to adhere as strictly as possible to the time estimate you are given, please remember that this is a very personal and creative process and time frames are approximate. Let me know when ordering if you are purchasing a portrait as a gift. I will need to know the date which you expect to present your painting to it’s recipient prior to beginning the process. For last minute gifts, I can create a gift certificate that can be purchased on line and then mailed directly to you or that special someone. The recipient can then contact me directly to begin the creation of their one-of-a-kind portrait.

         I begin all commissions  based on the honor system and therefore do not require a deposit to begin your pet portrait. After your painting is completed, I will email you photographs of your piece. At that time you can either approve your painting or make suggestions as to anything you would like me to adjust. Only after you are 100% satisfied will I require payment in full. As soon as payment is received, and funds have cleared, I will ship you your painting using either UPS or FedEx. All pieces will be insured for complete purchase price. 

         If you’d like to discuss placing an order, please visit my contact page and send me an email. After receiving your letter of interest I will then supply you with my personal email address or ground mail address in order for you to send any pictures you would like me to review. I will not open any email’s with attachments from senders that I do not know. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but do hope that you understand.

         I look forward to working with you to create a cherished keepsake of all of your four legged friends! All inquiries are welcome!

 PRICING for PET PORTRAITS

                         *All prices in US dollars.

         This is a basic guideline for my pet portrait pricing. It is reflective of one subject with a simple background. For detail oriented or complicated backgrounds please add an additional 40% to listed price. For additional pets please add an additional 50% per subject to listed price. Additional sizes and prices available upon request.

*These size pet portraits can be created on both a traditional stretched canvas as well as a canvas wrapped board. The primary difference between these two mediums is the thickness or depth of the canvas and the ways in which they can be displayed. Traditional stretched canvas paintings have a depth of about 3/4 of an inch and come ready to hang as is or ready to frame. Paintings on canvas wrapped board typically have a depth of about an 1/8 of an inch and come ready to be displayed on a decorative easel or framed for wall hanging. Please feel free to ask as many questions as needed when deciding which medium will work best for your pet's portrait.

~ I reserve the right to change price quotes based upon quality of reference photos, difficulty of composition, and number of animals to be included in each piece. I will notify you, prior to accepting your order, with any changes that may apply. I also retain all copyright and reproduction rights to each painting I create. While I may use a photograph of your pet portrait for my portfolio and possibly for advertising material,  I will not create or sell any copies or reproductions of your pet portrait. Each pet portrait I produce is, and will remain, a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
