TIPS FOR GOOD PHOTOS & OTHER INFORMATION

The portrait is painted from your photographs.
The better the photograph the better the painting.
Please send Close-up photographs that are clear and show eye and face detail.
Send photos showing your pet in different lights and from different angles so I don't miss any details.
Indicate which photo you would like me to paint. Please note on the back of pictures which pose you would like painted and which shows the best color of eyes and coat.
Sometimes the flash makes the pet look lighter than they are and we just need to know if the picture is not accurate.
I have done paintings of pets from bad, far away, blurry pictures and they just don't show the detail that the good photos produce.
Some pet owners only have one not so clear picture of their deceased pet and I understand that. When in that situation, I will do my best to produce a memorable keepsake of their pet that has passed on.
When painting a darker pet, I paint the slate with ivory first and it has black lettering.
When painting a lighter colored pet, I leave the natural color of the slate and it has ivory lettering.
If you need a slate with multiple pets, try to get pictures of them individually then these pictures can be used to create a finished portrait of them.
Don't be afraid to use treats or toys to get your pets attention for a good photograph. They will love you for it.

SHIPPING INFORMATION

All portraits will be shipped in the United States by USPS Priority Mail. Delivery shipping date will vary depending on your distance from Ohio.

The charge for shipping, handling and insurance is $15.00 for one slate shipped.
Email or call for shipping quotes on additional slates in the same box.

We try to ensure that you receive your Slate in perfect condition by carefully packaging each slate so it will not get damaged in transit.

If we send your portrait and it is lost in the mail, there will be a 30 day period before a refund is sent.

Usual delivery is 2-4 weeks. However, If you need a Pet Portrait for a Special Gift or Occasion. Just specify the date you need it by and I will do my best to accommodate you.
Remember to order Early for the holidays to make sure we can get your order done. (November and December are busy painting months for me).

If you do need a portrait in a hurry we can have you email us a .jpg file. We do not recommend this procedure but I have had successful paintings from .jpg files. They really need to be clear photographs.

If you are not happy with the finished product, we will refund your money within 30 days. Just simply return your portrait for a refund ( excluding shipping charges ).

If you would like to give a Pet Portrait as a gift and you don't have a photo of the pet,
may I suggest a Gift Certificate ?

A Gift Certificate makes a Unique Gift for that special pet lover.

Slate pieces are all different, no two pieces are alike. Each has imperfections that make each one unique. Slate is very Fragile, please handle with care.

These paintings are done with acrylic paint and done on old pieces of slate from an Ohio Roof.
