    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello, I know I've asked around before, but I'm offering commissions for portraits of anyone's pets, done in oil paint on 1/4'' masonite board. I'm hurting for cash so I'll make them pretty cheap. One pet per portrait, please.

5''x7'' = $50
8''x10'' = $75
11''x14'' = $125
18''x24'' = $300
Larger = PM for price

Here are some examples of my most recent work:

The first is 24'' x 30'', and the last two are both 18'' x 24''.

I also have an original for sale, matted and framed. It was the preliminary 'rough' painting for the full size one above. One of a kind! The actual painting is an 8.5'' x 11'' and matted/framed it's an 11'' x 14''. Selling this for $150 shipped.

Ah yes, I draw too, but painting goes way faster to me. Glad you like them! And I just saw that one boa pic with the blue on his/her chin. That one would look crazy awesome as a painting! If I didn't have so much to do I'd ask if I could paint it. :)
 
Portrait

Hi Justine.
You do very nice work.
I have two German Shepherd that I would like in the same Portrait.
One has passed away and the other we have. How much for them both on a 2 foot by 3 foot.

Thank you.
Jerry Velasco
