DESCRIPTION OF THIS LISTING
This is a 100% ORIGINAL, HAND-PAINTED CUSTOM OIL PAINTING of your pet. I use only the highest quality materials and oil paints! (The painting depicted here is an example. It is to give you a good idea of my painting style and my work quality. It is not for sale).

Your custom pet portrait painting will be create for you from a reference photo that you send me. This is a HAND-PAINTED item and will be one of a kind. I send you a tangible product (stretched canvas with oil paint). I need a good clear photo (high resolution as possible) preferably in natural lighting. The painting will be made of the one photo of your choosing/preference. But in addition, if possible, I would like additional photos for reference. Please send photos from different angles to capture different characteristics of your pet since I am unable to meet your pet in person. I am an artist with 20+ years of experience so I have a good feel on how to add the perfect touches to make this the perfect shops piece for you!
