Beautiful Oil Pet Paintings For The Home

By Loraine Fitzmaurice


Pets are a very important part of many people's lives. They are part of the family, reduce stress and give a great deal of love. Nowadays it is becoming very popular to have the image of a beloved pet immortalized in oil pet paintings. It is a fantastic way to remember an old pet, or capture an adorable moment.

Many people who have a painting done of their animal only really appreciate it once the pet has died. This is because they can then look back and remember how special it was. It is a wonderful way to remember a loyal dog, cat or even a horse. And it is something to remind you of your own past too.

Alternatively, this type of artwork is also a wonderful addition to the decor. You can just imagine powerful animal oil paintings set in an antique wooden frame above the fireplace. Or a more modern and contemporary take on a pet. There are so many different ways that you can design it that it is completely up to the individual.

Any loving owner will know how beautiful their pet is so it is important that the artist can see it too. The paint needs to be a copy of the pet, not just that specific breed. This means that the eyes and mouth need to be portrayed perfectly, so that it is clear who the painting is of.

Custom pet art is becoming increasingly popular and because of this there is much more choice out there. Don't be put off if an artist is just starting out. This doesn't mean that their work will be inferior, it just means that they are not as well known. Ensure that you find the perfect one for you.

It is important to ensure that you have pictured the end result in your mind. Work out with your family whether you want a modern or more traditional image. Where you are planning to put it is also important. You should also consider what paint you want it to be done in and what style you want.

There are numerous different types of paint that you can ask for, but oil pet paintings tend to be among the most popular. This is because they have a certain quality that is very flattering for this purpose. However, you should do some research to ensure that this is the style that you really want.
