When I look at our painting of Gus and Maron I just smile! It’s a beautiful piece of art and they were a beautiful pair of dogs! Carrie captured not just their physical presence but also their spirits! This painting brings gives me joy every day!

CUSTOM PAINTINGS

Our lovely companion animals don't live as long as we do. My hope is to preserve that time that we've had together, the connection, the places, and the decade or more of shared experiences and memories. 

I never get tired of looking at the painting you created for us. We have it hanging over our fireplace and it looks like a window looking out towards Mary's Peak. It tells the story of how John and I met and how we are so very tied to this beautiful place called Oregon. Whenever I walk by it, it makes me just stop what ever I am doing for a moment  and appreciate how lucky we are!

THE COMMISSION PROCESS

SIZE AND ORIENTATION
Where are you going to hang your painting? What size will work there? What kind of orientation (tall or wide)? What do you want in your painting, Your dog or cat, your home, special things, what elements? Which paintings that I have done do you like and why? Colors? With this information, I can get a idea of how I can best capture and create a meaningful painting for you.

PHOTOGRAPHY
If we are doing a dog or cat painting, I like to have photographs based on our conversation. I may request some specific shots of your dog or cat. I then sketch out my ideas, and send you a sketch of my proposed painting. After the sketch is finalized, and you make the payment in full, you will receive your painting within 8 weeks.

PAYMENT
The full price of the painting is due upon the approval of your sketch.

COMMISSION ROSTER
I generally have a few commissions I am working on, you can email and I will put your name on the roster. Commissions are painted in the order they come in.

SIZES AND PRICES

I offer a variety of standard sizes. As paintings get bigger so does the complexity, we will have a conversation about what size would best suit you. When we get the size sorted I will accept the full amount. Your painting will be completed within 8 weeks from the date of payment.
