Pet Portraits
by Rick Petersen

We all have pets that have become part of our lives, but we often fail to get pictures of them that memorialize their personality.  Have you considered having a portrait made of your special friend?  If you have, I really want to create a memorable likeness of your pet.

·        Let’s start with a conversation.  Please contact me by e-mail, Facebook, or Messenger/phone.

·        I want to hear all about your pet, why he or she is special, and how you relate to each other. 

·        My work will start with photos, so I need you to send me photos of your pet that show personality, unique expressions, and special moments. 

·        If you decide you want me to do a portrait, I will do one or more pencil sketches, and I will send you copies to let you know what I plan to do.  

·        When we are ready to begin your portrait, we will complete a formal commission contract that contains the specific commitments, prices, and dates that we agree to, and I will begin work on the portrait.

Let's start the conversation....

Dusty is nearly 30 pounds of king-cat.  I wanted to capture the of nobility that I see radiated from his face.  My focus began with the eyes and the way Dusty looks at his world with authority and kindness.
