    Solution Graphics
  • By Mail or Phone: Download the Pet Portrait Order Form. Complete it and send with payment in the form of Check or Money Order to the address on the form. I can also take your order over the phone when you call (972) 822-4159.

2. Submit Photo Referencesvia e-mail attachment or regular postal mail. Producing excellent pet reference photos is a critical step in creating your beautiful custom pet portrait. I can always adjust for shadows, poor lighting, or a mediocre background. However, better pet photos usually translate into superior pet portrait paintings. Extra photos are also suggested as these can serve as a reference for coloring, close-up details, and personality. Subjects, features or backgrounds can be combined or omitted from separate photographs as required to achieve the desired end result. Click here for Photography Tips to take the best pet photos.

3. Confirmation & Approval.Due to the nature of custom work, I will need to confirm project details with you by emailing you a rough sketch or computer rendering layout of the painting. At the point of your approval, I will start working on your project and your payment will become nonrefundable. When the pet portrait is completed, I send a digital proof of the final painting to you via email. If desired, reasonable alterations can be made to the portrait until you're completely satisfied.

4. Shipment or Pickup.Once payment is received in full and verified, I will insure and ship your painting, or you can arrange with me pickup in the Dallas TX area. Please be advised that the verifying process may take up to three weeks if paid by check. I currently utilize UPS Ground delivery, but please let me know if you prefer another shipping method (additional fees may be required). Sale is final after shipment.

Turnaround:Please allow approximately 2-4 weeks for the entire process from the date I receive your order and payment. Because of the nature of custom work, actual delivery time may vary, and turnaround time can be shorter or longer than listed above depending on the amount of orders received and the nature of your project. If you have a special date in mind, please let me know, and, if possible, I will try to get the portrait completed to you in time.

Special requests are welcome. Please contact me to discuss your special needs or any other canvas dimensions you have in mind.
