Custom Dog Portraits by Amy Reges
These are a few examples of special Labrador paintings and mix-breed
dog portraits I have done which show my simplified style and variations.
Your commissioned artwork will be a family treasure and a unique celebration
of the bond you value and share with your pet. Think of OtterTail Lab Art
for your next special gift. Please scroll to see examples of black Labs and
mixes, yellow Labs and a chocolate Labrador paintings.
This example shows the photo that I used for reference. Good quality photographs
of your dog will contribute to the best finished painting. Photos should
be fairly close up, in focus, in good light, and preferably taken outside
or certainly with NO flash.
Another example of the finished portrait beside the reference photo.

about your custom portrait.

buying a painting. You will have the opportuinty to work with me
in selecting the right photographs, colors and composition to assure
your satisfaction with the final painting. I enjoy reading your stories about
your dog too, so I get a feel for his or her personality, which helps me
capture their spirit in the portrait.
Prices vary with size and composition. Portraits
are painted in acrylic on stretched canvas.
A 50% non-refundable
deposit confirms your custom order. Shipping and insurance fees are additional.
Waiting list and time frame varies. Please plan in advance if you have a
special occasion date.
