Pet-Portrait
Pet Portraits fall into a special category which establish a bond between pet owners & their loved pets. They are a form of art that can be cherished for life.
The best Pet Photographs don't do justice to our loyal, beloved pets and the only way to have a life long memory of our pet is via having a pet portrait drawn from ones favorite pet photo memories. Pet owners might have taken dozens of photos of their beloved friend, but most photographs don't really capture the real essence of their pet, that is where a pet portrait comes into play & capture the beauty, sweetness, and personality of one's pet in life like detail—the way only a true work of art can.
Pet Potraits are drawn by artists from a pet owners favorite photo (used as a reference). These portraits can also be a very unique gift to pet lovers.
