Mixed-Media/Watercolor Paintings of Service Dogs and Pets of Veterans
(And some very close friends.)
Olley Cat This was my very first watercolor painting, which I painted in the summer 2014. Once I realized I had a knack for it, I tried painting my service dog. Then I had the idea to paint the dogs of my friends from our Soldier's Best Friend training group. Between September and November 2014 I cranked out 30-something paintings and decided to have an art show. My very first! |

Would you like a watercolor
painting of your pet?
All I require is a well lit, high resolution digital photo of your pet.
As for the pricing of my work, it is negotiable depending on your circumstances. All certified service dogs,therapy dogs and pets of veterans will get a discounted rate, however I will require verification of their certification or your time in service. Generally, I like
to meet with my client to discuss size, color and concept in order to set up a
contract because pricing is determined by size, cost of materials, time taken
and target audience. I also come up with concept sketches and
color swatches for the clients approval before completing the project. .
