These sizes are approximate and will be customized to suit the composition of your pet portrait. Once I see the reference photos of your pet I can give you a better idea of what dimensions will be best to use.
Special backgrounds can be added to paintings 16" x 26" and larger. The additional cost is between $100 and $200 and depends on the complexity.
You will notice that the dimensions of my paintings are not in standard sizes. This is because the dimensions of my work correspond to the ratios of the 'Golden Section' which is based on the ratio of Phi (1.618). For more information about this fascinating subject check out Golden Number.
If you are interested in having a portrait done I just need a few photographs of your pet. See my Tips page for suggestions on taking good photos for a painted portrait.
For portraits of people, please contact me by email or phone (250.899.1795) for a separate price list.
I accept PayPal, money orders and certified cheques for payment.
