Gift Certificate for Custom Pet Portrait Watercolor Art Paintings
Hello! Thank you for your interest in my pet portrait paintings. At this time I have a commission list. Orders will be completed in 2026 in the order received after I complete my 2025 commission list. You will receive a paper gift certificate in the mail with your order. Deadline for delivery of the gift certificate before the holidays is December 8th, 2026.
Please send the following with your order:
1. 2-3 photographs to hello@LauraLynneArt.com. Photographs should be copyright free (not taken by a professional photographer). Photographing your pet: If possible, take your pet outside or in natural light. Have them sit, then take an in-focus photo of their cute face and shoulders.
2. Deadline. However, please note that I will not be able to start working on these orders until July 2026 and will work on them in order.
3. Background color and/or style information.
- Simple background: solid color, 2 color wide watercolor stripes, or “watercolor dots” (1 or 2 colors). See poodle or see below. Leaving the white paper background looks simply elegant too.
- Complex background:Â foliage, flowers, etc…

The painting on the left has what I call “watercolor dots”.
4. Is this a surprise for someone? I like to post photos and stories with my progress so please let me know so I don’t spoil the surprise on social media.
5. Phone and email contact for the order
6. Name and address of where you’d like the gift certificate shipped AND name and address of where you’d like the finished pet portrait shipped, if different.
7. OPTIONAL: Any other details like your pet’s name, things you love about your pet, etc… For example, one client loved the little tuft of hair on their dog’s head, fun shaped markings or spots, fluffy ears, etc… Also, if there is anything that is not coming through in the photo, please let me know. I met a husky with one milky blue eye and one eye that was half milky blue and half brown, but it didn’t show in the photo.
