Commissions of Pet Portraits
How does it work?
These original watercolor portraits offer a creative take on your favorite fur friend. Paintings are created on high quality archival watercolor paper, professional watercolors, and signed by me. You will receive a hand-painted portrait from your photo. Each painting is a one-of-a-kind original. You will have the original and only copy. Please note these are representations not photographs.

Profesional Framing
Patrizia learned to professionally frame art at the Arts&Crafts Center in West Point, NY. In her art studio, she has a room dedicated specifically to professional framing. Using only highest quality molding from Germany and Italy, she selects the best framing option for each painting individually. Making sure the colors of the frame compliment the painting, and not overwhelm it is her specialty.
IMPORTANT: No matter who frames your paintings always make sure that ACID-FREE board and tape is used behind the painting. It protects the painting from yellowing over time. We want those paintings to look great in 15,20 ... years from now.
Patrizia is happy to frame anything for you, even if it isn't her own painting. Patrizia believes unframed art is more likely to be damaged or get spilled on so it's important that you protect your investment.
Frames are made out of natural wood, highest quality. Most of them come from Italy or Germany.
