Custom Colorful Pet Portraits from Your Photos

If you like bold, colorful art which really makes a statement in your room, a colorful pet portrait could be just the right accent to bring in some vibrance and show your love for your very own fur-baby! These portraits also make a fantastic gift for the pet-lover in your life. They’re on-of-a-kind and absolutely beautiful.

Getting a custom portrait painted of your pet is fun, too. I have a wide variety of sizes available, which ensures that you’ll be able to pick just the right one for both your space and your price range. You pick your size, then send me photos of your pet and some information about his or her personality. Knowing this really helps that personality shine through in the painting.

After finding out if you have colors you use often in your home decor, or if there are any particular colors you’d like used in the painting, I’ll provide you with a sketch of your pet’s pose and positioning on the canvas, as well as a few color palette options from which you can choose.

After that, I’m off and running on your portrait! You’ll receive a photo of the completed portrait for your review prior to shipping, and then the next thing you know it’ll be at your doorstep.

Custom “We Can Do It!” Painting with your strong girl in it – feminist gift

Show the strong little girl in your life that "she can do it" with her own, custom-painted "We Can Do It!" painting featuring her caricature in the painting! This is the perfect feminist gift for the holidays. Rebel girls rejoice in gifts celebrating the strength and power of our future generation of women!

Click here to order this custom painting for your empowered little girl! Prices start at just $100 for an 8" x 10" canvas size.

I originally painted the sample shown in the photos for my own little girl's room. She loved it and said, "Mommy, I look so powerful!" when I hung it above her bed. I immediately decided to offer it in my shop so that, I hope, many other little girls will feel similarly empowered to see their own caricature painted in this iconic image.

The painting itself is created on a high quality, archival canvas, gallery-wrapped on an extra-deep 1.5 inch deep stretcher bar. I use only professional quality acrylic paints and canvasses, just like I do for the paintings I send off to art galleries and art shows. Even if it's intended for kids, I make sure that this is still an heirloom quality piece. I also install a professional, strong, coated hanging wire for you, so it's ready to hang the moment you pull it out of the box.

What style of pet portrait is right for you?

I offer a variety of styles of pet portrait paintings. Check out your options below to decide which style best suits you and your pet. Remember, every pet portrait commission is completely custom, so you can make requests as well!

It's a fun process and again, something so unique she'll treasure it for years to come.
