Pet Portraits
One way to preserve a lasting, unique memorial to a favorite pet is
to have Don create a one-of-a-kind portrait of your pet in wood. The
uniqueness comes from several aspects. When it is done, it will be the
only one of its kind of your special friend. The monochromatic approach
will give it a timeless, sepia or brown tone affect, as if from a
bygone era.
If you can capture on film your pet’s special pose and expression,
then Don can give it to you in a form you will cherish for years and
years to come. The soft, almost grainless quality of basswood is an
ideal background for exhibiting your pet’s unique qualities.
Obtain a one-of-a-kind portrait of your favorite pet
Because each of these is a one-of-a-kind project, you will need to
provide Don with as much information as you can. Send him several
pictures, including your favorite pose and the one that exhibits your
pet’s personality. If you have others that would help with facial
details or other pertinent information, send those as well, and your
phone number.
Once Don has had time to examine your photographs, he will call to
discuss the project with you. At that time, he will quote you an exact
price and give you an indication of the time frame necessary to
complete your project. If you agree upon these details, then Don
requires a 50% deposit before commencing such a special order project.
Normally, these can be in your hands within four to six weeks of the
beginning of the project. For more information, contact Don at don@woodburningsbydon.com.
