"Wow! He looks like he's ready to jump
right off the canvas and into my arms"

 

How can the personality of your dog be captured so clearly in a painting?  Well, there are a lot of reasons for that.  The video at the left tells much of the story.  However, I also view the painting process as a very collaborative effort.  Therefore, my process is highly personalized.  It's my artistic ability plus your hope and vision that insures a perfect portrait.  You'll receive images at each stage of development - including close-ups as needed.  Your input and suggestions mean that every detail will be perfect.

Client Testimonials

"I've been at my ranch and just now got back to Whittier and unpacked Rittie's portrait. Wow! There aren't enough adjectives or superlatives to describe this painting. Absolutely magnificent! Absolute perfection! I can't tell you how impressed I am with your portrait. From expressing the innocent inquisitiveness of Rit's demeanor to capturing the nuances of the gentle breeze, it's all there. Amazing. Thank you."

"Got the painting yesterday when I got home... It is BEAUTIFUL!!! It's gorgeous!! So good I am almost afraid to give it to my friend, as I know his feelings will be mixed between happiness and sadness as the painting is exactly Zakky.  I love it -- Thank you SO MUCH for this. It is ABOLUTELY GREAT!!"
