Feel free to attach photos and state special requests.

We have a phone conversation

We discuss:

  • Your ideas and my suggestions for the painting (content, medium, size, etc.)

  • Price and time estimates

  • Arrangements to meet you and your pet in person (if located the Greater Philadelphia area)

  • If we come to an agreement, a 50% deposit is required

Ideally, we meet (within the Greater Philadelphia area)

My favorite part of our meeting is seeing your pet in action!
If needed, I take photos of your pet, as well as settings and objects to be included in the painting.

We confirm:

  • the painting medium and size

  • the expected date of completion (typically, six weeks; expedited time frames are possible)

I get started on your painting

I contact you when the painting is finished

At that time, the remaining balance is due.
If you are local, we schedule a delivery time. Otherwise, I ship your painting to you.

Your painting is delivered and unveiled

Oil paintings: As the sides are painted in a solid dark hue, the painting may be hung as is. We can discuss framing options.

Pastels: An included glassine covering and foam core backing provide temporary protection, but pastels must be framed before hanging. We can discuss framing options.

Your pet portrait settles into its forever home
