Commission a custom pet portrait of your animal best friend, or favorite animal painted in acrylic or color pencil from your favorite photo.






My pet portraits will capture your special animal companion’s unique personality and  likeness in an acrylic painting or color pencil that will last a lifetime. These true to life paintings create a lasting memory of your precious pet. I try to portray not only your pet’s physical appearance but also capture the personality and spirit that you love so much. They are painted on artist quality paper in a very realistic style that will reflect your pet accurately. When completed I send  it to you unframed as I believe the frame for your portrait is a very individual choice.

My Professional Background

I earned my Graphic Design degree at Northeastern State University Oklahoma, and specialized in animal portraits at London Art College. At this time I have decided to concentrate on painting pet portraits since animals have always been such an important part of my life and I feel a special bond with them. I specialize in avian art after becoming involved in wild bird rescue. Knowing how much we love our animal companions I try to capture each pet’s personality and unique features in very portrait I do.   

Photograph Information

I work from the photographs you supply to create each commissioned pet portrait. These photographs must be clear and sharp with accurate color and good detail.  These photos need not be larger than 4”x5”. You can contact me at rgortonart @ gmail.com.
