Standard Background (Included)
Standard Background (Included)
Each portrait includes a simple dark or neutral background selected by the artist to best complement your pet’s coloring, expression, and the overall mood of the piece.
Why the artist chooses the background: As the artist, I consider contrast, value, temperature, and emotional tone when selecting a background. This ensures the focus remains on your pet and that the finished painting feels cohesive, timeless, and painterly rather than overly literal or decorative.
Curated Background Palette (Optional)
