James Arguile Pet Portraits

If you’re looking for a professional to draw or paint a portrait of your dog – or if you’re one of those kind hearted souls who’s decided to commission a piece of art as a gift for the dog lover in your life, you have a few options when it comes to selecting your artist.

1. Take a look, if you can, at their portfolio of work.

2. How does it make you feel?

3. Would it take your breath away if you were the owner of the dogs depicted?

4. Is there a distinct style, unique to the artist?

5. Is the dog’s character captured on canvas?

6. Are there any testimonials from happy customers? If not, would the artist be willing to supply some?

7. Is the pricing within your budget.

Choosing the artist for your dog’s portrait should be fun, memorable experience. Receiving the finished artwork can be an emotionally overwhelming experience – pick the right artist and you can ensure the emotion will be all for the RIGHT reasons!
