I have been doing pet portraits continuously for about 14 years now. I work from good reference photos of the pet. I have done pet portraits in small and large sizes and for people all over the USA. Kevin called me last week from Denver. He wanted to inquire about 2 portraits of his sisters dogs for her birthday. My first thought was "very sweet"! What a guy who loves his sister! Then I asked when his sister's birthday is and he told me it's in 10 days. Two oil portraits in 10 days..... and he wants them framed too.
Luckily I was between commission projects so I said I would try to make it happen. I am a fast painter so I can usually finish a portrait in 6-8 man-hours, but it's pretty intense work.
So Chicken was first up. Here he is as an 11 x 14 oil on canvas - I charge between $350 - $475 for an 11 x 14 depending on how quickly the client wants the painting, and also if they want it framed or not.
