Pet Portrait Ordering Information

At Artful Dogs we believe that each pet is special and unique. Our commissioned portraits attempt to capture the individuality and personality of your pet. All portraits are custom pieces painted from photos supplied by the customer. Portraits vary in price according to size and number of animals represented. Visit our gallery of pet portraits to see some of our portraits in watercolor, acrylic, or pastel. While our focus historically has been dogs, we are pleased to fulfill requests for paintings of any animal. We also paint portraits of houses.

All photos will be returned.
