Q: How long will it take?
A: A pet portrait can take up to three months to complete. I like to have time with the painting to really make sure that your pet’s portrait really reflects their personality.
Q: What if I need it sooner?
A: Depending on my work load, you may pay an additional fee for a rush order. However, “rush” still means one to two weeks. The fee is an additional 20% of the commission price.
Q: What if the photo I want to use is blurry or in bad shape?
A: That’s okay. So long as I can get a general picture of the way you want your subject to be composed in the painting, I can extrapolate from additional photos that I will ask you to provide for me. Often a bad photograph can be turned into a beautiful painting!
Q: Can you paint multiple pets in one portrait?
A: Yes. Each additional pet is $100.
Q: How can I pay?
A: By check or cash. I’m working on getting a paypal system in place soon!
Q: How will I get the finished piece?
A: If you are in the Napa Valley area I am happy to deliver it to you. If it is farther it will need to be sent by post. Please be aware that there will be a postage fee in addition to the cost of the portrait.
