Commissioning Pet Portraits For Remembrance
Man’s best friend has become a common centerpiece, moulded so into works of art and down to the personalized mug. Four lucky pooches were immortalized by pastel on canvas by a famous artist, after their owners, a flight attendant and her mother, from Memphis, Tennessee, had him commissioned. Two of the beloved pooches have been lost, and they remember them in these rather expensive family photos. Do not make the mistake of revealing you cannot differentiate one dog from another. Further your knowledge on paintings at pet portraits from photos.
With the other two dogs, Kelly Rae, a cockapoo puppy, and Miss Manners, a Lhasa apso, a couple photos was taken last year. On the one hand, Kelly is quite probing, and on the other Miss Manners keeps her distance. The outline has just been provided. Apparently, those who play in the big leagues of art can see it too.
The selling price for a quality animal portrait has appreciated four fold, from $2,500 to $10,000, as told to us by a Manhattan gallery owner and expert in 19th century animal art. The respected animalier recently fetched $577,000 in an auction of a painting of a Newfoundland named Neptune, which is his all time high. Another famous animalier, this time a Long Island resident of French descent, is paid up to $250,000 for a painting of an animal’s profile.
Victorian d’cor includes animal art, and, when it became popular again, people started buying more animal art. Animal paintings, from pets to horses, pigs, and sheep, served the English for both business and pleasure. Further, animal art, she says, fills a room with warmth.

She would never give pet paintings commissioned by doting owners the cold shoulder, though her dealings involve high art. Pet paintings are a nationwide craze that she still considers serious art. Older portraits may not resemble descendants of the same breed, and in these cases the owner should commission a new painting. The first layer in the painting is taken from a pet’s photo, and the second layer involves instructions from the pet owner. In the experience of a watercolor painter from Germantown, Tennessee, whose primary thing was landscapes, she had a client who made her redo a portrait of his two dogs to adjust for the shine in their eyes. She got it right the first time around with another painting of a deceased dachshund in five poses.
Thirteen successful years of painting houses and pets have passed for another water colorist from Eads, Tennessee. There have been seldom cases in which she has had to paint cats, fish, and a frog, and more frequently she does dogs and horses. In her experience, the client’s face reveals his pleasure or displeasure with her work, especially when she has painted a pet that has passed away. They become wistful or teary eyed.
