PET PORTRAITS IN PENCIL
Are you searching for that perfect, unique gift for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion? Have you suffered the loss of an animal companion and want a lasting reminder of your friend? Or perhaps you just want a portrait of your favourite hiking buddy on your wall. A pencil portrait is an ideal way to show how much you treasure a favourite pet, past or present.

Working from a photograph, I create each portrait carefully with graphite pencil, paying close attention to detail and striving to capture the personality of the pet. Unless otherwise requested, I usually limit the drawing to the pet's head and shoulder area. Portraits are drawn on 8½x11" acid-free paper (the drawing itself is sized to be nicely displayed in an 11x14" frame and mat with 8x10" opening) - frame and mat are not included).
If you would like to have a portrait done for a special occasion, please don't wait until a few days before the event to order as backlogs can occur anytime. Portrait prices start at $100.00 CDN (shipping is extra, and depends on how the customer prefers to have it delivered).

What I need from you if you wish to order: your name, phone number, e-mail address, mailing address, your pet's name, any deadline information (someone's birthday, etc.), and last but not least, a good, clear photograph of your pet. I can only draw what I can see, so if the picture is too small or lacks detail and clarity, it might not be suitable. The necessary information and photo can be sent via e-mail to scotianhiker@hotmail.com. When the portrait is finished, I will send you a proof by e-mail for your approval. If you are not satisfied with it, you pay nothing and I keep the portrait. If you like what you see, payment is then made either by regular mail or online, and I will then send you the finished original and a receipt.
Thank you for considering my services. Please browse the gallery at your leisure. :)
