» Renie_Burghardt - Trials of a Pet Portraitist
Hi Jen, if you lived closer, I'd get you to paint some of my pets! I guess painting pet portraits is much like painting people portraits, in many ways. And I imagene the satisfied customers far outnumber the less satisfied ones. I love the pictures you show. You are very talented.Enjoyed the article. Take care. Renie

In response to message posted by Renie_Burghardt:Thanks for your lovely comments Renie. From talking to other animal artists it's a common problem which is why so many of them dread commissions while longing for them at the same time.

In response to message posted by JButler:Thanks Joy. That rabbit portrait was actually commissioned as part of a calendar for the Rabbit Council of New Zealand. I think it took me two weeks of fairly solid work to finish.

Amazing to read some of the success stories. I imagine it's all worth it when things come out right. And I bet there's a taker for those that don't please some folks, anyway.This must be a delightful way to make a living, Jen. You are certainly a gifted artist.
Always enjoy your writing, too.

In response to message posted by BettyPine:It depends Betty on what type of surface I'm working on. Paintings I now charge $300-400NZ for, rocks can vary from $20-50NZ but I have been told that my prices are too low. I need an agent!

In response to message posted by burgyndie:Hi Suzanne. Well I do pointillist black and white work, acrylic and watercolor painting, rock painting and I also do pressed flower work although I guess that counts as a craft.
