These are examples of previous commissions that I have created for clients, these are not for sale but serve as a guide to what I can create for you. I am happy to accommodate any size requirements for your commission, ensuring it perfectly fits your needs.   Please note that additional elements like extra subjects or detailed backgrounds will incur extra costs which can be discussed and confirmed during the consultation process.

While high quality reference photo is preferred for the best results, they are not essential, However, please keep in mind that the quality of the reference image can impact the final outcome of the artwork.

I will add how to take and pick a good reference photo below.

  To secure your commission, a 50% nonrefundable deposit is required once we've agreed on the details of your commission.

I also offer framing services at an additional cost, and for those choosing to have their artwork shipped, please note that extra postage fees will apply, as I ensure your artwork is securely packaged especially when framing is involved, to protect the glass during transit.

 I'm happy to ship both locally and internationally, with shipping cost covered by the customer. this will also be worked out in your order consult.

Here are the tips for submitting a great canine photo reference I like to share with all of my clients:

1. KNEEL down! You are tall and your dog is not, so the best images for classic portraits are captured when you are photographing from “eye level” with the dog.

2. Outside light is always best.

3. Photographing when the sun is not at full height is key. Full bright sun can “wash out” the contrast and details. A day with some slight cloud cover will give a very different feel than a bright sunny day. My favorite time to photograph dogs is at “golden hour” when the sun is close to setting or just after rising.

4. Sunlight at an angle (think 4 o’clock or 8 o’clock) will produce a very different composition than 3 or 9. Facing your dog directly toward the sun to take a photo will typically be too bright. If the light source is behind the subject, it will leave all of the details in shadow.

5. Think outside the box! Art is often the most appealing with the subject in a unique position / pose. Close ups, head tilts, etc. can be more unique and translate to a pleasing composition.

6. I understand that sometimes a commission piece could be for a beloved dog that has crossed the rainbow bridge. Don’t stress… just look at your photos and send the one(s) you feel are best. If the images you are sending are for a memorial piece please let me know.

7. Lastly, choose an image that you want to look at every day. Something that is special, unique, meaningful, or just simply so visually pleasing you want it interpreted as a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
