Beyond the Photograph.

A favorite photograph. A familiar expression. Transformed into a one-of-a-kind painting of the pet you love.

Our Près du Coeur paintings can begin with a portrait we create specifically for the finished artwork or with a photograph you already treasure. We frequently work from owners' photographs and cell phone images, making these paintings possible for pets who would be more comfortable at home and for those who are no longer with us.

From that starting image, we consider expression, color, composition and the character of your pet, then individually create the painting as a finished work of art designed around them.

Have a Portrait in Mind?

Your Près du Coeur painting can begin with a portrait we create or with a photograph you already love. During your Creative Consultation, we'll talk about your pet, the image you'd like us to work from and the finished artwork you envision.
