Exceptional Detail. Real Depth.
THE DETAIL
This is three inches of Tex’s mane, at the resolution it prints. Every hair in his mane is there — and so is the brushwork behind him.
Each accent color runs from a lit highlight down to a deep shadow, so one color sits comfortably against several wall colors.
MANY TONES
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, about three weeks.
First
Two or three clear photographs give the best result. Close up is better than far away — the more of your companion's face is in the frame, the more of it ends up in the painting.
Then
Pick from the curated colors, or send a photograph of the room and we will sample the color off your own wall.
Finally
You approve a proof before anything is printed. Then it arrives as an archival giclée print, or framed and ready to hang.

WHY THE BACKGROUND MATTERS
Most pet portraits only fit one wall.
The background is one flat color. It either works in that room or it doesn't, and if you repaint or move it, it fights everything around it.
I know. I own several.
Ours aren't one color. Every ground runs from a lit highlight down into deep shadow, warming and cooling as it goes — so there's always something in it that agrees with the room it's in. That's why the signature neutral works on almost any wall without you having to decide anything at all.
And if you'd rather it announced itself, there are seven colors that will.
I work from Issaquah, Washington, usually with Woody and Farley asleep somewhere in the room.
Where Woody and Farley came from
Woody and Farley both came from a rescue in Arlington, Washington. It was called Rompin Paws then. It is called Senior Dogs and Friends Rescue now, because Cheryl, who runs it, decided to focus entirely on the dogs people scroll past.
I have never understood why seniors get overlooked. They are the easy ones — already house-trained, past the chewing and the six a.m. energy. A senior dog wants a warm spot near you and your company. And no one is more grateful.
So 10% of what every portrait sells for goes back to them.
I would have done it anyway. Putting it in writing just means you can hold me to it.
