The Gallery: Pet Portraits by Wary Myers

Although the AT reader jury was hung on the Wary Meyers wedding portraits, we have to show off the customized pet portraits. We love 'em. They're pretty, a little crazy, but totally sweet. In other words, they perfectly represent our pets...

Just like the wedding portraits, the pet paintings are also typically painted in acrylics on 20" x 24" canvas but the size is negotiable. Yet unlike the wedding portraits, Wary Meyers requests photos of your pets and tidbits about their personality. A sample submission could read:

"Bear sounds like Chewbacca and has a cocked right ear and loves his little hedgehog..."

"Milo, Neko, & Tao"

"Trufflupagousse"

"Daisy"

The price for this special memento starts at $1,200 with a 50% deposit due upon order. Once the painting is complete, Wary Meyers will send a draft image via email and request feedback or changes. After customer approval, the remainder payment is due and the pet portrait will be shipped out for about $35.

Wow, these are much more fun and interesting than the wedding portraits! I love that the pet's personality is incorporated into the image in such whimsical ways. Very cute!

LOVE!

I would do this for my three, but I can't justify the cost right now.

At least the pets have normal breasts. LOL.

I like them. They should stick to the animal world.

These are a little too cutesy for me, and WOAH expensive! I just had a custom work made of our dog by an awesome artist on Etsy, Gemini Studio.

I have bought several pieces from him, he is super talented. He layers strips of antique paper and newsprint on his canvases to give them a really neat textured quality. His pieces are around $65, and he charges a little more for a custom design. I LOVE the work he just made for me.

Also, he lives in Chicago and has some neat Chicago-related artwork and Obama paraphernalia as well :)
