Symbolic PortraitsHaving a SymbolArt portrait designed especially for you is much like commissioning any work of art. I want to make sure that it represents the best qualities about you or the person who may receive it as a gift. I require a $60 deposit to get the process started. After receiving your deposit, I will call you to discuss possible symbols to be included in your portrait. I want to be sure that there no animals that are particularly offensive to you.(For example, many Native American traditions honor the skunk as a symbol of respect, while some other people consider it an insult.) If you don't care about the symbolism and want particular animals that hold some personal meaning to you, that's fine. Just let me know. Once we have determined what symbols will be included, I will draft a layout showing how the animals will be arranged in the picture and will determine the total price. I'll send this to you along with a contract and payment schedule. If the layout meets your approval, send it back to me with a payment of 1/3 of the total cost. I will notify you when the portrait is finished. When I receive your final payment, I will ship the picture to you via certified mail. If you are within driving distance of my home, I can deliver the picture personally. Step by Step

Pet PortraitsThe process for Pet Portraits is similar to Symbolic Portraits. It starts with a $60 deposit and a photo session. I prefer to take the photographs myself. From them I will create a portrait that is designed to bring out the best, or most endearing, qualities of your pet. See examples. The only situation in which I will use someone else's photographs is if the distance is too far for me to travel to take the pictures myself. (The horse in this painting is an example.) The customer was pleased with the result. That's what counts.Step by Step
