I would like to purchase a portrait as a gift and need it for a specific date, is this possible?
Gifting a pet portrait is such a great idea! What a personal gift!
If you have a specific date you need your portrait by please contact Dee prior to purchasing and she will let you know if this is possible.
Do you offer a framing service with your Pet Portraits?
No, unfortunately not. All custom pieces will be signed and numbered in pencil and will be mailed in a protective sleeve along with a cardboard backing, in a sturdy document mailer.
After I have purchased a custom pet portrait can I order multiple prints?
What size do these prints come in?
Absolutely! What a nice way to share your pet portrait with other family members.
Dee can organise a professional scan and giclee print of your original portrait in either A4 or A3 sizes. If you are interested in this option contact Dee and she will provide you with a quote.
After I have purchased a custom pet portrait can I have it printed onto a tea towel, pillowcase or cushion?
How cute would that be! Unfortunately this service is not available at the moment however we are looking into it and will be sure to let you know if it becomes an option.
What does Dee paint from? Does my Pet have to come in for a sitting?
Getting any pet to sit still whilst having their portrait painted for hours would be challenging to say the least! This is why Dee paints from photographs that you send through of your pet.
What type of photos should I send to Dee?
When you are ready to place your order for a custom pet portrait you will be required to upload up to 3 high resolution photos of your pet. The photos will need to be front on, torso up, in natural light, with a clear indication of your pets eyes, after all they are the window to the soul! Keep in mind, the better the photo the better the portrait! If you can't decide on the image to use and have a few goodies, send them all through and Dee can offer her advice.
