Pet portraits

As pet owners, Gail and Jeff know that each pet has its own unique personality. And for a pet owner, commissioning a portrait means that they want to see that personality portrayed on canvas. In our work, we capture the personality of every pet that we paint. When you hire the Paw Print Artists, you will have a treasured remembrance of your pet for years to come.

Many of Gail and Jeff’s co-workers and friends have commissioned paintings of their pets that they proudly display in their offices or homes. Last winter, one of them purchased a pet portrait for her father who had recently lost his favorite dog. When she gave the painting to him as a Christmas gift, he broke down in tears because the portrait so accurately captured his beloved companion. We have had similar reactions from most of our clients to the finished piece.

How to order a  pet portrait

  1. Send an email to pawprintartists@aol.com with the pet photo that you want painted plus two additional photos showing your pet’s personality. Our ability to capture your pet on canvas depends on the quality of the photos you send. Better pictures will result in a better representation of your in pet in the painting.
  2. We will respond by email with sample images showing the styles available for your pet’s portrait. We will also ask basic questions about size, type of background, special effects, favorite or hated colors, where you live (for shipping purposes), and a desired completion date.
  3. After receiving your answers, we will email you a price quote for the painting that includes shipping and insurance. All prices are quoted for unframed, gallery-wrapped, stretched canvas.
  4. Once you accept the price quote, we will begin the portrait.
  5. Approximately half way through the portrait, we will email you a photo of the painting for you to review and to make any suggestions or requests.
  6. When the portrait is completed, we will email you a photo of the finished portrait. If you like it, then we will arrange for payment.
  7. After we receive payment, we will ship the painting to you.

Note: All photos sent via email will have a watermark that will not appear on the painted portrait. Any photos of the portrait, as well as the actual painted piece, are copyrighted. The Paw Print Artists reserve the right to reproduce the portrait for use in prints, products, or promotional materials.

Paw Print Artists: Fine Art and Pet Potraits

Gail McFarland and Jeff Danford are the Paw Print Artists. Jeff is "Paw", Gail is "Print"; They have two main passions: making art and spending time with their pets. Gail paints mostly in oils—her paintings tell a visual story intended to create an emotional connection. Jeff likes to experiment with shape, texture, and color and works in a variety of mediums including ceramics and painting. To combine their two passions, they paint custom pet portraits that capture the personality of your pet on canvas. Gail and Jeff believe in finding good homes for abandoned pets and saving them from being put to death. As a result, all four of Gail and Jeff's dogs are rescue animals and they donate 10% of their commission on every custom pet portrait to Friends for Life, a non-profit organization that finds homes for rescued dogs.
