Animal Portrait Commissions

I create original oil paintings of animals, with an emphasis on expression and individual character. Each painting is made from your photographs, with the goal of capturing something of what makes your animal unique.

Dogs, cats, goats, horses, and other animals are welcome.

Commission Pricing

Paintings are painted in either oil or acrylic depending on what you want, on gallery-wrapped canvas, and ready to hang.

Additional animals, more complex backgrounds, and custom sizes may be available at an additional cost.

The Process

1. Get in touch

Send me an inquiry with a little information about your animal and the size you’re interested in. We can discuss your ideas and whether your photographs will work well for a painting.

2. Choose your reference photo

Your painting will be created from photographs you provide. Clear photos with good lighting and a view of your animal’s expression, preferably at eye level, are especially helpful.

3. Your painting

Each portrait is individually painted in oil on canvas. My approach is painterly rather than photorealistic, allowing the brushwork and character of the animal to remain the focus of the finished piece.

4. Delivery

Your finished painting will be shipped to you within the United States at no additional shipping cost.

Timing

Completion times may vary depending on my current workload and the number of paintings in progress.

Thank you!
