POOCHTRAITS.....Dog Blog

I love to paint animals...especially dogs. There seems to be a sparkle of humanity and compassion in the expressions of many dogs that I've known and loved. I started painting pet portraits a while back, and am beginning to discover that some folks would rather have a portrait of their pup more than a portrait of their kids or grandkids. I specialize in dogs, but I will paint whatever pet you have needing his portrait done (I painted a boy and his iguana for a client in Costa Rica...the iguana was easy, the boy, a bit more difficult).

Prices are $60 for a 5x7 and $75 for an 8x10...acrylic on artboard. If there is additional or extensive artwork required, that fee may be higher. I would need a crisp jpeg image and a $20 deposit. The above prices include shipping to all the U.S. and a $5 donation to my local animal rescue service. Contact me at jpolderndirt2@yahoo.com for further details.

  1. Beautiful portaits, James. I can "feel" their emotions, which to me, is what a good portait should do.

  3. Hi Mr James Parker
    No one can paint like you! Your paintings come to life- just like they were living. You add so much feeling. Look at those eyes, look at those expressions! Even the wooden floors and grass is beautiful. You are such a good artist!
