Two-Dog Portraits

For portraits of two dogs together, I recommend a minimum canvas size of 14x18" so each dog has enough room and presence in the composition.

• 14x18" — $595
  A beautiful size for two dogs together while still allowing plenty of detail for each portrait.
• 16x20" — $695
  My recommended size for two dogs. The larger canvas creates a more balanced composition and gives both dogs room to truly shine.

How It Works

1. Choose your size and style — select from the options above.
2. Submit your favorite photos — send your photos and anything special you'd like me to include to cathilmingus@gmail.com. I'll reach out to discuss which photo might work best, and go over background and color options you would like.
3. I paint your portrait — each piece is created by hand with professional-grade materials.
4. You'll get a sneak peek — when I'm close to finishing your dog's portrait, I'll email a photo to make sure you love it! Another photo will be emailed before the final painting is packaged and sent.
5. It ships to your door — carefully packaged and ready to frame or display.

Tell Me About Your Dog!

Please feel free to tell me the things that make your dog special — their personality, quirks, favorite toys, and anything else you love about them. I want to get a sense of who they are, and please feel free to share anything special you'd like me to include in the portrait.

Photo Tips for the Best Portrait:

• Eye level — photos taken at your dog's eye level avoid distortion and capture their true features
• Good lighting — avoid harsh sunlight, shadows, or dark conditions
• In focus — clear, sharp photos (not blurry or taken from too far away)
• Clearly shows features — we want to see your dog's face and markings as clearly as possible

Turnaround time is typically 3–4 weeks. Questions? Reach out before ordering — I'm happy to help you choose the right size and style for your space.
