All pet portraits are hand-painted in a realistic style using acrylic paint. Dogs, cats, birds, I'll paint any animal! Select and crop your best photo! (see 7th and 8th listing photo for guidelines). Choose to have the photo's background painted, or replaced by a solid color. The perfect gift to a friend or family member who recently lost their beloved pet. CANVAS These pet portraits can be painted on two types of canvases, basic and premium (see 6th listing photo for differences). If you want a larger size, contact me for a quote. BACKGROUND Option to choose from 20+ solid colors, your own custom color, or have me paint the photo's background. Need help selecting a color? (see 4th listing photo for tips). If you don't select "Custom Color", let me know the color you want from the color chart. Send me a photo of a color swatch for a custom color. I'll try to make it as close as possible. SELECTING YOUR PHOTO One face purr painting. Please use a photo you have personally took or have permission to use. Select a high quality, high resolution photo, with natural lighting for the best results. The pet should be eye-level with the camera. TURNAROUND TIME I can have the painting done and ready to ship in as little as 5 days, but expect up to a few weeks, especially for larger paintings. Feel free to ask me before placing an order, to get a better estimation on when I can have it shipped.
