Fine Art Pet Portraits 

I specialize in creating a unique Oil painting that will immortalize your beloved pet forever.

My expertise does not end with one type of Animal!

I use my painting expertise to create portraits that reflect the personality, and spirit of your pet.

Each portrait is crafted with quality paints, and attention to detail.

I am willing to work with the client to ensure a stunning and timeless piece of art that they can cherish forever.

Details  & Information

Small canvas is 9x12 for 360$.

 

Medium canvas is 11x14 for 420$.

 

Large canvas is 16x20 for 560$.

(an additional 50$ will be charged to the above prices for each full body rendition, or detailed background.)

Sizes of canvas, & Prices.

I do work as a full-time artist, so I can fit your pet portrait into my schedule easily.

A portrait painting typically takes me about 3-4 weeks time start to finish, with added drying and shipping time of two weeks.

(Arrival expected around 6 weeks from initial purchase date.)

Please note:

Smaller canvases may require a simplification, or reduction in details to maintain clarity and avoid overcrowding in the composition.

A 16x20 canvas is best suited for full body images, or detailed backgrounds.

Given the extra time involved of incorporating detailed landscape backgrounds, and rendering full-body portrayals, may require additional charges.

Picture References

I am excited to begin working on your beloved pet's portrait, and to ensure that I capture every detail with the utmost precision and warmth, I kindly request a clear, high-quality photo taken in natural light.

Here's why a clear, natural light reference is crucial:

  1. Detail and Accuracy: Natural light enhances the details and colors of your pet's fur, eyes, and features. This allows me to create a lifelike and accurate representation of your furry friend.

  2. True Colors: Artificial lighting can distort colors, leading to inaccuracies in the final portrait. Natural light ensures that the true essence of your pet's coat and markings is faithfully captured.

  3. Emotional Connection: Natural light adds a warm and authentic touch to the photograph, helping me convey the genuine emotions and personality of your pet in the portrait.

Tips when taking the Reference photo:

  • Choose a well-lit area with ample natural light, preferably outdoors or near a large window.

  • Ensure your pet is relaxed and comfortable, capturing their natural expressions.

  • Use a high-resolution camera or smartphone to capture the details clearly.

  • Please no screenshots, blurry, or pixelated images, they simply don't help.

Feel free to send multiple photos from different angles, and I will select the one that best suits the composition that we chose.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the photo-taking process, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I appreciate your cooperation in providing the best possible reference for your pet's portrait.

I'm looking forward to creating a beautiful and timeless piece that celebrates the unique personality of your cherished companion.

 I do require a deposit of half, or a full payment before I start your pet portrait painting.

I'm happy to help you choose an image, background or answers any questions.​

Happy Clients

"I recently had the pleasure of receiving a pet portrait by Gabriela of my Jack Russell named Remi, and I must say, it was truly remarkable. Gabriela captured Remi's essence with extraordinary skill and attention to detail. Every stroke of the brush seemed to bring Remi to life on the canvas, capturing her spirit and personality in a way that felt almost magical. It's clear that Gabriela is not only a talented artist but also has a deep understanding and appreciation for animals. I highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking to capture the essence of their beloved pet in a timeless work of art."

"I worship my picture. I hung it right next to my bed. It’s even better in person. It’s like she’s jumping out of the painting . Thank you so much ! I’ve had quite a few pet portraits done over the years and I’ll be honest I never liked any of them until now."
