Colin Hayes Art, Pet Portraits - Nationwide
My ultimate goal is to capture your loved one's character and personality on paper or canvas, and invoke an emotional response. I want you to want to look at the portrait, over and over, not just to enjoy the craftsmanship, but to connect with the image and relive fond memories of a pet, whether living or departed.
All art is ©Colin Hayes. You will own the original artwork. However, I retain all rights to the image.
Drawing is of the subject's head, neck and possibly shoulders (unless otherwise discussed). The size of a single subject drawing is 8"x10" (11"x14" matted), the size of a double portrait (two subjects) is 11"x14" (16"x20" matted).
I retain the right to reuse and sell the artwork on merchandise (i.e. greeting cards, coffee mugs, t-shirts, prints, etc.).
This applies to pet portraits only! Privately commissioned people portraits will NOT be resold in any way (except celebrity portraits, under agreement), although they may be used for marketing purposes.
No duplication of the image is allowed without written consent. The artwork may not be altered in any way, including removal of signature.
A high-resolution digital file of your drawing is available for an additional charge (for your personal use only, not for resale).
Prices are subject to change at any time, except for a portrait you've already commissioned, of course!
The 50% deposit secures your position on the waiting list. Once I begin drawing your portrait, the deposit is non-refundable.
By sending your deposit, you agree to these terms.
For those of you who have sacrificed your hard-earned money to have me bring your loved one to life, I can’t thank you enough. For those of you who are considering it, I’m honored to have the opportunity and look forward to working with you.
Thank you!
