- It’s all yours, yay!
COMMON QUESTIONS:
Q1: “I can’t decide on which photo I would like painted, can I send more than one?”
A1: Yes – please feel free to email over multiple photos, and I’d be happy to help suggest which would translate best into a painting. TIP: please ensure photos are clear & crisp – the more detail in the photo the more detailed the painting can be!
Q2: “What sizes do your Pet Portraits come in?”
A2: Common sizes are 6″x6″, 8″x8″, 8″x10″, 10″x10″, 12″x12″, or larger, however alternate or custom sizes are also possible. Smallest available size is 5″x5″. All portraits are painted on 1.5″ deep gallery wrapped canvases.
Q3: “Which methods of payment do you accept?”
A3: To keep things flexible, there are a few different possibilities: Interac e-Transfer, certified cheque, cash, or PayPal (for Visa or MasterCard use). If you have questions about any of these methods, feel free to contact me and I’d be happy to help.
Q4: “How long is the order time?”
A4: As order time fluctuates throughout the year, an eta will be provided at time of ordering. However, since there is an influx during the Christmas season, please budget for at least 8 weeks. If a rush is required (eg: birthday gift), it may be possible depending on my order schedule. Don’t worry though – order time can be confirmed prior to taking the initial deposit.
Painting details:
- The background will be removed and painted a solid colour. If you have a particular colour you would like please indicate at time of ordering. However if you have no preference, I’d be happy to select the most complimentary colour to your pet.
- If you would like the background of the painting left in (vs a solid colour), this is possible at an additional charge (quoted upon request).
- The edges of the canvas are painted black (unless otherwise specified), and all Pet Portraits are ready to hang frame free.
- Want a collar removed for the painting? No problem, this can be done at no additional charge.
Additional info:
- Gift Certificates are available if you would like to give a Pet Portrait painting as a gift but don’t have access to your friend or family member’s pet photos!
