🖍 For the custom portrait specifications: these listings are available seasonally. When available, please contact me via the personalization box and Etsy message to let me know the background color, eyeglass type/color, orientation preference for the canvas, and additional details you would like me to know for your pet portrait. The available options for background color and eyeglass type are included in the listing. Please also send me at least one clear, well-lit photo of your pet that shows a good view of his/her face as well as a few words that describe your pet's personality. This will help me bring your pet to life in the painting! Specific requested information are outlined in the listing description.
Note: By purchasing a custom painting, you acknowledge that this is a hand-painted artistic representation of your pet based on the photo provided by you. I put in my best to paint each portrait and there will be some artistic variation from the photo. You agree to give the artist full liberty to the final design of the painting. Custom orders are not returnable, refundable, or exchangeable due to their personalized nature. The artist holds the right to use any images of completed portraits for promotional materials. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsThis is my 4th painting I've ordered from Carmel - I continue to be blown away by her creativity and talent! She painted the cutest red panda adorned with surgical loupes and a whale-decorated scrub cap. Our friend loved it. Excellent delivery process as always. Always makes me so happy to see her artwork!

5 out of 5 starsI couldn't be happier with Carmel's painting of my corgi. She really captured the wacky personality of my dog and painted a beautiful background. Amazing work!!

5 out of 5 starsWe asked Carmel to make a special painting for our friend who was graduating and moving to another city. We were beyond thrilled to see her creativity shine through to produce such an excellent quality piece of artwork! Everything we wanted to express was captured perfectly in her attention to details - from the bubbles with illustrated figures, to the whale's smile, to the beautiful ocean background... we could not be more happy!! It truly meant so much to us and to our friend to capture everything in the painting so seamlessly and beautifully. Additionally, monoclepets has excellent customer service and fast shipping; Carmel even helped obtain a frame that would be the perfect fit. Thank you so much for making such a special gift for us :)
