I really enjoy creating commission paintings. Honoring the bond of love, bringing forth the spirit and beauty of your horse or pet and working with you to create your painting is such a wonderful and meaningful experience. My clients tell me that my paintings speak to their hearts and that brings me such joy and gratitude! Creating a painting for you is not only technical application but a spiritual experience too. The love between us and our animals is a precious bond, like no other. When creating a painting I can use your photographs or I am happy to come out and meet your companion and take the photographs for you at no additional charge if you are within a reasonable distance. My original hand painted paintings or drawings are available in oil paint on stretched canvas, dry pastel on paper or charcoal on paper. My custom painting price list and sizes are available. Just send me a message and I am happy to e-mail you. Please feel free to contact me by phone at 831-464-3738 or e-mail me at Janet@janetferraro.com. I look forward to hearing about your pet, what you love about them and your ideas for your painting. Also please tell me the colors you want to see, what paintings of mine speak to you. I create realism or impressionistic paintings, the choice is up to you!

I will work from photographs that you provide for me  or I can travel to meet your horse or pet for a photo session. I enjoy meeting your horse or pet when possible and taking the photos to capture their beauty, movement and expressions that are unique to them. Each horse or pet has very special qualities. I will share my best photos with you or send me your photos, details and ideas to discuss the final painting. Tell me what you’d like to see in the finished painting such as size, personality, composition such as head only , partial or full body and color preferences. A 50 % deposit is required once I am commissioned and or at the time of photography and the balance is due at the time of completion. If more than one subject is to be included in the painting we can discuss the price for this too. Framing is not included in my commission price but I am happy to help you with this. I can include a quote with framing.
