Pet Portraits by Jack Lindsay
Custom pastel pet portraits created from your photos of dogs, cats, horses, birds and all the pets we love.
I would be especially pleased to create a custom quality and reasonably priced pet portrait of your cherished pet dog, pet cat, pet horse or pet bird or to honor your memories with a pet memorial tribute.
ORDER INFORMATION
I hope that most of your questions regarding the ordering of a custom pastel pet portrait will be answered on this page. But, if not, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Along with your order, please send several carefully selected clear photographs of your pet to me. Indicate which photo best represents his or her personality; which shows the truest coloring (eyes and coat) and any other information that you feel will be helpful for me to “see” what you see. Post-it notes work well for this information. Not to worry....ALL PHOTOS WILL BE RETURNED WITH THE COMPLETED PORTRAIT. As technology has developed so has the quality of email attachments. Therefore,
the possibility of this method is a consideration.

All of my portraits are completed in a pastel medium on a non-yellowing acid-free heavy paper stock. They are also shipped fully matted with double mats and ready
for framing. (See FRAMES below.)

A note about payment policy: We all can be a bit apprehensive when buying a product or accepting a commission over the Internet. However, until we work together, all I can offer are words at this point. But I will try to explain: a pet portrait is a very time consuming one-of-a-kind custom endeavor. Once the creative process begins I concentrate only on that portrait until it is completed. The next step is to present a scanned version to you for approval and/or changes. Fortunately and happily, all of my portraits have received final approval. So, because the creative process is a major commitment on my part, I accept orders with full payment to insure the sincerity of the request. However, please know that I DO NOT deposit
your check until the portrait is completed, until it has been scanned and sent via
e-mail for approval and until the final approved version is shipped to you. Should
you not like the portrait all monies will be returned. I trust that you understand.

You may also order your portrait framed in a handsome quality classic wood molding from a selection of styles and colors compatible with contemporary or traditional interiors. Pastels can last for generations providing that they are protected behind glass or acrylic. It is for this reason they I’d like to suggest that you might consider having the portrait framed prior to shipment. In this way your investment will be protected during shipment and, after arrival, there will not be the potential damage caused from handling of the exposed portrait. Also, once it does arrive it has the advantage of being ready to give as a gift or to hang on the wall. This is not a requirement, of course, but merely a suggestion. If it does appeal to you please
look at a handsome collection of styles and colors that I am providing by clicking on this link: FRAMES
This is of very little profit to me but gives us both peace of mind.
Cost for standard sizes is $80.00 per framing process.
DEDICATIONS
A wonderful way to personalize your portrait is through your own words. You see, I provide a dedication for the back of each portrait that includes the name of your pet along with your special words that reflect the love you have shared. For example, "SKIPPER, our squirrel chaser, our security alarm, our love sponge. You will always be in our hearts. Created especially for ______ and given with affection by ______. Happy Birthday, 2010" Of course, they would be your words. So, please be thinking about what you would like to say and include those words with your order.
GIFT CERTIFICATES
Need a unique gift for someone special? A gift certificate is the perfect answer for
the pet lover. Let me know the particulars and I will be pleased to send a beautiful certificate to either you or your friend for a future portrait.
