The Pet Portrait: A Timeless Gift to Yourself and
Loved Ones
Take a look at your family portrait
wall. No doubt there are grandparents and favorite
uncles; vacation photos and wedding
portraits; baby snapshots and Christmas memories.
Still, perhaps you have forgotten someone. Where
is the one who bounds out to greet you after a long
day at the office? Where is the one whose soft purr
lulls you to sleep in the cold of winter or the
one who perches on your shoulder as you read the
morning paper? If you consider your pet
a member of the family or know someone who does,
then consider having an artist create a painting
of your pet or a pet portrait either for yourself
or as a priceless gift to another.
Pet portraits are becoming increasingly
popular since pets are members of the family. Many
artists and websites such as http://www.yourartnow.com
now specialize in creating pet
portraits, and converting your photographs into
paintings using various mediums to provide you with
the best way to immortalize your best friend on
canvas. Pet
portraits also make fantastic gifts and you
can gift such a painting
to your spouse, friend, or other family member.
They will surely be delighted that you considered
their pet worthy of their very own, professionally
created portrait!
Unlike the traditional painting sessions
where the subject was made to sit rigid and unblinking
for hours on end, many pet
portrait artists do their work based on snapshots
and descriptions provided by you. Furthermore, many
pet
portrait artists and companies offering art
from painting and painting from pictures services
are available via the internet. You need only contact
the artist via e-mail to set up a commission. Whatever
medium you choose--watercolors, oil paints, pencil,
or colored pencil—there are artists who are
experts in that medium waiting to create a beautiful
painting
of your pet.
If it’s a gift you’re
after for the pet lover in your life. With a simple
snapshot of your friend’s beloved pet, you
can commission the portrait yourself! Pet portraits
are limited only by your desires and the artist’s
imagination. While the more typical commission involves
a beloved dog or cat, artists are also happy to
take commissions for portraits of birds, horses,
rabbits, lizards, and whatever other animal you
may share your heart and home with. A pet portrait
will ensure those years from now, after photographs
have faded and memories have dimmed, a glance at
the family portrait wall will be all it takes to
return your pet to your side once again.
