Pet Illustration by Melissa Peacock

Custom Pet Illustrations

Our pets aren't going to be around forever, so I like to paint them living their best life. I got to give Milo a tall vine to climb (he loves to be up in high spots). I gave Lando (a hedgehog) a cute teacup house in a woodland. When our animal friends ultimately leave us, we can continue to "visit" them in the fun spaces we imagined for them.

I use high quality (Qor) watercolour. After working out the details, the painting process takes a couple of weeks. I usually sell these paintings unframed, as it is safer and less expensive to ship this way. A "sketch" would be similar to the coloured pencil drawings shown. These make thoughtful gifts.

5x7" sketch: $25
5x7" painting: $80
8x10" painting: $200
11x14" painting: $300

Shown prices are in Canadian dollars. Shipping costs extra, and I typically send them unframed.

Testimonials

"We talked about the local birds, and she was SO quick with mock ups for me! I had a few special requests, such as painting on the mat, and she took it beyond what I was hoping for. (...) Her communication was fantastic, and she absolutely exceeded my hopes for this. " - Jenna

"I could not be happier with my painting! It is absolutely gorgeous, and the 3D elements look so cool in person. Amazingly quick work as well" - Ashleigh

"I am over the moon at how well done this painting is. I requested a portrait of my girlfriend and her dog who has passed away. It is a beautiful piece, the background is incredible, I really cannot recommend this shop enough." - Nathaniel
