Pet Portraits
by
Stephanie Grimes

A pet can bring so much happiness to your life with their unconditional love and devoted loyalty. A special way to honor your loving companion is with a pet portrait. It can remind you of all those wonderful times you've spent together. Now you can have a one of a kind, original portrait of your pet created by an artist who truly loves animals. Stephanie will capture your pet in a timeless work of art. She does not merely copy a photo, she captures the essence of the animal. Stephanie looks for that spark that makes each pet a unique individual.

Some pet portrait artists use a single photo for reference, essentially giving their clients a carbon copy of that photo. In such cases, the artist will have no idea if they have captured the personality of the pet, because they are only after the likeness of that particular photograph. Stephanie does not believe that a single photo can accurately capture the complex personality of a pet. She therefore asks her clients to provide several photos and a description of the pet's personality. She can then ascertain which photos best portray the animal's personality. She may use a particular pose for the portrait and various other photos to pull out the personality. Then, each portrait is meticulously hand drawn and painted. Thus producing a far superior portrait than those who rely on a single photo.

All artwork is guaranteed 100%. Stephanie has been drawing animals since she was a small child. Her two greatest passions in life are nature and art. She is a professionally trained artist who uses only high quality papers and art supplies. Most of the portraits on this website are of dogs. That is because more people commission dog portraits than portraits of their other animals. But, don't let that fool you. Stephanie is a very capable artist who will draw or paint any pet, whether it is a dog, cat, horse, donkey, bird, reptile or some exotic.

" Let me use my skills to give you a portrait of your beloved friend that you can treasure forever." -Stephanie Grimes
