Shirley's endearing pet portraits are hand-painted in oil on wooden cradle boards.

 

To begin a project, please email her your favorite pet photographs.

 

Photo Reference Note: 

It is crucial that you take the photos in natural light - indoors next to a sliding glass door or window preferably.

If your beloved pet is no longer living, just send Shirley as many photos as you can find. 

 

Tips:  Get down low and use treats to capture your pet's attention. Eye contact is very important in Shirley's portrait.
