They're all dogs!
Saturday morning's Halloween dog parade at Mission Blue was full of surprises. There were dogs in all kinds of costumes, and everyone, dogs and humans, seemed to be having a great time!
Meanwhile, I was busy painting pet portraits. So busy, in fact, that I didn't stop painting all morning!
And by the end, my hands looked like this.
Here are a few of the dogs I got to paint!
Christmas pet portraits are now open!
After such a fun morning painting dogs, I thought this would be a great time to start taking orders for Christmas!
If you have a pet, or know someone who absolutely loves theirs, a custom pet portrait could make a really cute Christmas gift.
Just send me your favorite photo of your dog, cat, or other pet, and I'll turn it into a painting!
Here's how it works:
Custom acrylic pet portrait (11 × 14 inches): $40
One or two pets in the same painting
Optional black or white frame: +$25
Free delivery in San Francisco
Shipping anywhere in the US: +$10
Payment by Venmo or Zelle
Christmas order deadlines:
December 6 for shipped orders
December 13 for local delivery in San Francisco
To order, just reply to this email with your favorite photo of your pet and their name!
Black or white frame?
You choose!
You can also see more of my pet portraits and other artwork on my Instagram, @zel.artsf.
I'm excited to paint more furry faces and help create some special Christmas gifts this year!
