Given the hard economic times that we are all facing, I understand that you are looking for the best price that you can find, but you are also looking for the absolute best quality painting and style of art that you will be proud to display in your home, or to give as a gift.

Purchasing a custom painting of your pet is not like shopping for a new appliance or clothing; it’s finding a special piece of artwork that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Not all dog paintings are the same, nor are their prices.The old saying “You get what you pay for” is very true when it comes to custom art work.

Each painting is a unique experience, and requires its own approach and time to create. The type of pet, the complexity of its composition, the quality and details of the photos, backgrounds, etc. are all variables that will determine the cost to create a beautifully painted piece of art.

So although some artists give a flat rate per painting, I believe that it is more appropriate to give a price that is based on each individual commission.
