Loyal Hearts
In the quiet of dusk, a friend's gaze meets mine, The loyalty of a canine heart, pure and divine. Through the trials of life, in shadow or light, by my side, he stands, a steadfast sign. With wagging tail and a bark that ignites, every moment shared, our spirits intertwine. In grassy fields we frolic, time ceaselessly flies, Yet, in silence he knows when the world's unkind. As seasons change, and the years softly drift, His love is a constant, a love that aligns. Through joy and through sorrow, he echoes my song, In the tapestry of life, our hearts still enshrined. Oh, the bond we share, in words unspoken, A promise of loyalty that forever shines. With every paw print left on the path we tread, A testament to faith, unwavering, divine.

I Enjoy Painting Dogs
I have painted many dog portraits. My goal is to catch the expression of the dog's personality. Yes, they have expressions! And for sure they have personalities! I would enjoy meeting the dog and take the reference photos with my camera so I can observe first-hand the personality of the dog. If your dog has passed, I can use a photo if it is clear. I would like to talk about your precious pet with you before I start painting.
Portrait Costs
Most of my portraits cost my clients between $300 and $2,000. Price varies based on size and complexity. I use the best paint and paper which is non-acidic and will outlast most oil paintings currently being produced. I use Winsor Newton Professional Watercolors and Arches Hot Press papers. I do not provide frames.
My Translation of What I See
What I paint is not a photograph. It is my creative interpretation of what I observe. If you are wanting a painting which is a perfect reflection of the pet, I suggest you have a photograph taken and enlarged.
Payment
After we agree on the subject, size and other details, 50% of the cost is due. It is non-refundable. After the painting is complete, the balance is due. You will then receive a wonderful portrait painting.
