Some online paintings are simply a photo manipulated by the computer then printed on canvas. Not here! Every step of the way, from the initial drawing to building it one brushstroke at a time, it's all hand made and uniquely custom to your specifications.
Here are a few sizes and examples of former "clients" I've had the enjoyment of painting.
All are quite the cast of characters and treasured part of their families. I can also paint horses, alpacas, goats, frogs.....and well just about anything found in nature!

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN CUSTOM PET PORTRAIT:
It's easy and shipping costs are included!
1- Following the size/price guideline below, simply select the size you prefer and then email several good photos of your pet showing off their unique personality (note: I've added some helpful guidelines at the bottom of this page).
2- I’ll let the creative juices flow and begin considering which composition would work best and communicate my suggestions to you. We’ll also discuss background colors and other elements you my choose.
3- Then I’ll begin the hand-drawing process and begin a sketch of your custom painting, and send you the sketch. Once you approve, I'll begin painting and creating your piece. Depending on my studio flow, this hand-made process usually takes 3-4 weeks to complete
4- When completed, I’ll send you a final image of your painting. Then I'll varnish (to protect your original painting) and carefully pack/ship your painting to you (or to the shipping address you provide) via USPS Priority Mail, along with insurance and tracking confirmation.
5- Unwrap and hang your unique and treasured painting to enjoy for years to come! Because I use archival-quality 1 1/2" deep "gallery wrapped" canvas (see photo below) the sides of the painting are finished so it's ready to hang! If you prefer to add your own frame, let me know your preferences and can also paint on panel or canvas with less depth so the painting will fit perfectly.
6- Not sure which size (square or rectangle) will work best? Send me your photos first, then we'll decide which composition to select. Then you can decide how large you want the image to be.
(note: during certain holidays client’s commissions can stack up and take 6-7 weeks to process since it's a hand-made item, so order early! Contact me here if you have any questions: bb@barbarabassett.com
