Whether living now or in the past, pets and animals give so much to our lives. It is an honor to give any creature a small spotlight through painted portrait.

Less common for portraits than dogs or cats but no less deserving, any animal – fish, bird, lizard, frog, turtle, etc. – can be honored with a portrait.
