My Paint Brush
The beautiful photograph evokes strong feelings.
The painting of a beloved pet adds timelessness to our bonds.
Hand Painting Virtually
Images can be painted from scratch, or a painting can be created from clonepainting a favourite image.
As with traditional artwork, it is hand painted stroke by stroke on computer (no more waiting for paint to dry or inhaling of fumes). Then it is printed on archival fine art paper or artists premium canvas to preserve it for future generations. Certainly worth the investment for that special moment/pet in one's life. Your painting is a once-off exclusive and unique item as with any organic painting.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Have the correct photo
Whilst it is possible to paint from a poor quality image, a higher res image allows the artist to produce a larger painting for use in large wall art items, as well as render detail more accurately. If it is an image taken by a professional photographer other than myself, be sure you have the copyright/right to use it in this way.
Portrait or Scene?
Would you like a portrait style painting or would you like a scene? In the case of a scene, would you like your dog sitting in a field of flowers? Or your horse on the beach? This does affect the length of time in painting and eventual costs.

Paintings start at R995 for an A5 framed print (Half Carat Package). Larger prints or canvas (highly recommended) options are also available. Typically my clients spend R1 850+ on a particular painting (one or more products and includes painting fee). Scenes, composites and multiple subjects command a higher price.
