Classic pet portraits of dogs, cats, horses, and other animal companions, painted by Eric Stewart
Welcome to Eric Stewart Portraits.
I have been painting pet portraits for clients since 1991. My clients value the surprisingly lifelike quality and unique essential beauty of their portraits, which attract attention and generate praise in tastefully decorated homes and offices across the USA and beyond. Being a pet portrait artist is, for me, the most rewarding artistic endeavor, as I am both animal lover and art lover. I enjoy creating works which are meaningful to people who feel the same way about art and animals.The mystique and beauty of painted pet portraits
Photo portraits are fine, but common. The commissioner of a painted portrait understands this. There is an intrinsic value to a beautiful painted portrait which sets it apart from photo-portraits. Visually, conceptually, and artistically, a painting is so much more.Absolutely the best pet lover gift possible
Recipients of an Eric Stewart pet portrait of their special animal companions, present or past, are always moved and impressed by the gift they have just unwrapped. Gift certificates are available for the gift giver in a time pinch.Pet memorials
If your animal companion has passed away, a beautiful pet portrait of him or her is the most perfectly appropriate way to commemorate the unique relationship you had with your pet.A gift to a loved one of a memorial portrait of their special friend, now gone, will be warmly received and appreciated throughout their life.
When choosing a pet portrait artist...
I am a freelance artist living in Washington state, and I personally create only hand-painted portraits. I stress this because there are portrait websites which sell computer-generated pet portraits from client photos which attempt to mimic an appearance of a painted portrait.Also, there are portrait art websites who will outsource your portrait commission to anonymous artists in developing nations. With such companies, you may have no choice of artist, and your input may not be welcome.
I provide courteous, personalized service to my clients to ensure that they are delighted with their portraits. Knowing you can communicate with your artist at any time and receive a prompt, intelligible, and relevant reply can be an important factor in terms of your ultimate satisfaction with your custom pet portrait.
