Custom Info

  • I work on gallery wrapped stretched canvas with acrylic paints.
  • Portraits take about four to six weeks, but can take more or less time to complete depending on the time of year and demand.  Please email and I can give you a more accurate estimate of current completion times.
  • Gift Certificates are also available for gift giving.
  1. Email me 3-5 photos and most importantly a description of your dog’s personality.    Don’t worry about the background of your photos. If you like the style of a specific painting on my site, or if you have requests for a specific style, pose, or background color please let me know.
  2. I compose the painting based on the photos you send.  I will show you the image and we will discuss the background color(s) before I start drawing.  A 50% deposit is due at this time.
  3. I hand draw the image on the canvas and paint away.  My paintings are all hand drawn and painted by me.
  4. Upon completion I send a photo of the finished portrait.  The remaining 50% is due before shipment.
  5. Shipping charges are additional.  You can expect anywhere from $10 to $30 depending on the size of the canvas.  I ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx.

 

Paper Collages:

  • I started with my greyhound logo.  Now there are many animals and I am adding new all the time.   Greyhounds, Poodles, Weimaraner, Boxers, Chihuahuas, Labs, Schnauzers, Cats, and Great Danes
  • Some are in more than one canvas or panel:  Basset Hounds, Collies or Shelties (in two parts or panels), Doxies (in two or three parts or panels)
  • They are all paper, ink, and acrylic on 8″x8″ gallery profile frame with 1 3/8” stretchers. The image wraps around on the sides of the canvas. They are embellished with different items such as paper, rhinestones, ink, acrylic paint, beads, and three dimensional glaze.
