I work on stretched canvas with acrylic paints. The portrait is sold unframed and intended to be hung that way, but you can of course, frame it if you wish. Portraits take about three weeks, but can take more or less time to complete depending on the time of year and demand. At time of order, I can give you a more accurate estimate of current completion times.
Email or mail me 3-5 photos along with a description of your dog's personality. Don’t worry about the background of your photos. If you like the style of a specific painting on my site, or if you have requests for a specific background color please let me know. I compose the painting based on the photo(s) you send. Click here to see more about how I use photos. I can show you the image or the background color(s) I selected for approval before I start drawing and painting, if requested. Please note that all monitors show color differently so the color will not be exact. Once that is completed, then I draw it on the canvas and paint away. My paintings are all hand drawn and painted by me.
Here are prices (good thru December 2008) for some of the sizes I have been working on. If you are interested in a different sized canvas or would like two or more dogs in a portrait let me know and I can give you a price.

A deposit of 50% is due when you send in your photos. Upon completion, I will send you a digital photo of your portrait. The balance will be due before I ship the completed painting. I accept paypal.
Shipping charges are additional. I charge you what UPS or FEDEX charges me to ship your painting. You can expect $10 - $30 depending on size of the canvas.
I retain the rights to use a digital image of your portrait on this website or any other advertising.
Let me know if I can answer any more questions or if you want to have a portrait done. Email me at info@tishatemplin.com.
