Photos: 📸 🌄 After you fill out the email form, I'll send you instructions on how to send your reference photos. To ensure I create the best commissioned painting, please email two or more high-resolution, clear images. These photos will serve as the starting point for capturing all the details of your artwork.

Please ensure that you own the rights to or have taken the photos yourself. Poor-quality images, such as those that are super pixelated, in shadow, or too small, may hinder the visibility of details and affect the final painting. Thank you for your understanding.

Email Communication: 💌 💬 Feel free to reach out via email with any questions you may have or to discuss your vision for your pet portrait and your preferred medium. I specialize in creating smaller paintings using watercolor, gouache, and acrylic paintings in various sizes. Please specify whether you prefer a headshot, head and shoulders portrait, or a full-body portrait for your custom pet portrait. Here's what each framing option captures:

• Headshot: Focuses on the pet's head and face.

• Head and Shoulders: Includes the pet's head and part of their shoulders, capturing more of their upper body.

• Full Body: Depicts the entire body of the pet, from head to tail.

Please ensure your reference photo reflects your preferred framing. Additional photos can help capture your dog's personality and loving physical features in detail.

The email form will prompt you to provide your pet’s name, your full name, email address, mailing address, and phone number for communication and shipping purposes. Once payment and photo references are received, I will begin creating your commissioned piece. I look forward to corresponding with you!

Purchase: 💰 📝 To secure your custom-commissioned painting, you can purchase your single pet portrait through the link I provided above. Full payment is required before shipping the artwork, unless you prefer local pickup or arrange for personal delivery. If you desire a pet portrait with multiple pets or a different size, I will send you an invoice for direct payment.

Timeframe To Create: ⏰👨‍🎨 Crafting commissioned paintings varies. Generally, small paintings can be completed in approximately three to seven business days or less, excluding shipping. However, timelines may vary based on the artwork’s size and complexity, the quality and timely receipt of provided photo references, respectful and timely communication, prompt completion of required steps, and the current volume of pet portrait orders.

Please note, delivery may experience delays due to inclement weather, particularly during snowy conditions which affect road clearing and package deliveries in Alabama compared to Northern states. Additionally, postal and delivery service disruptions due to unforeseen strikes can impact package transit times. Rest assured, I'll keep you updated should the process extend beyond the typical timeframe.

By following these steps diligently, you're ensuring a smooth process and contributing to the creation of a unique and cherished pet portrait. Your support helps spread love to our furry friends and makes a lasting impact together!
