commission your painting

A portrait that feels like a love letter to your pet.

NOTES:

  • If you're unsure about the best photo to use, feel free to email me before ordering.

  • If you’d like a size not listed here, just reach out — I’m open to custom formats.

  • All paintings are made by me in my countryside studio in Majorca, Spain — sometimes with a few stray hairs from my dogs. (No extra charge.)

Each portrait is painted with care, using professional oil materials and a slow, thoughtful process.


Here’s what makes every commission unique.

  • To commission a pet portrait, I’ll ask you to send several photos of your pet so I can choose the one that works best for the painting — ideally with natural lighting and visible detail. If you have a specific photo in mind, I’ll be happy to work with it too.

    The style is realistic but expressive — you’ll see visible brushstrokes and subtle color shifts that make each painting truly feel alive.

    Once the portrait is finished, I’ll send you a photo of the painting before shipping. If there’s a small adjustment you'd like, we can talk about it before I varnish and prepare it for delivery.

  • Each portrait takes about 2–3 weeks to paint.
    Oils need time to dry and be varnished for protection, so please allow around 3–4 weeks from start to shipping.
    I’ll let you know your estimated start date if there are other commissions in the queue.

  • Painted in traditional oil paints on archival linen or museum-quality Gessobord.
    Each piece is created with artist-grade pigments and materials made to last for generations.

  • Each portrait is painted alla prima — directly in oil, in a single sitting or a few sessions.
    This approach keeps the brushwork lively and expressive, capturing your pet’s presence with immediacy and warmth.

  • Carefully packaged for safe worldwide shipping.
    Every portrait includes a signed certificate of authenticity.
