PET PORTRAIT SPECIAL COMMISSIONS

Special Pet Portraits open September 2, 2025 â€‹â€‹

​

“When I lost my dog in 2023, painting his portrait was a cathartic gift to myself that soothed my heart. Now, I offer pet portraits each year to honor him and give others a way to celebrate the bond with their pets. It would be my honor to paint yours.” ~ Linda

​

Special Pet Portraits are open from September to November every year at a discounted price. This special offer is first come first serve and I promise to have the portraits finished for holiday gift giving.

​

*Note: if you are interested in having a portrait done of your pet outside of the Special Pet Portraits, please see Commissions.​​

WHAT MY COLLECTORS SAY:

​​Bello O. about Nala:

My experience with you was great you kept me updated about the process throughout with pictures included. Nala's painting adds joy to our home because it’s such a cute piece of our fur baby. I would definitely refer you to someone and your name comes up when any one asks who painted Nala. So, thanks again!"

John C. about Dillon:

"When I commissioned Linda to paint a portrait of my dog, I knew it would be amazing. What I didn’t expect, was how amazing. Linda captured my Dillon perfectly. He truly comes alive off the page." 

​​

Rachel W. about Bella the Beast:

"After losing my 11-year-old Labrador, Bella, I commissioned Linda to make a portrait of her. When I opened my mail to the incredible color-pencil drawing of my special girl, I cried. The beauty and detail in the piece perfectly captured the pure love of my Bella".

​​

Greg W. about his wife's portrait:

"Linda did an amazing job capturing my wife and her new puppy. The portrait was a Christmas gift for my wife. We both love it!"
