Yes! Within 3–7 business days I will send you a rough sketchThis is the stage for major changes, such as:posecroppingbackground placementfacial proportionsadding/removing accessories I'll then send you a photo of the completed painting for approval. At that stage, you may request up to two minor revisions at no additional cost, such as small adjustments to colors, markings, or other details. Once you've approved the artwork, no further changes can be made. If you'd like significant changes after approval, additional fees may apply.minor revision examples- brightening the eyesdarkening the noseadjusting fur color slightlymaking a marking more defined major revision examples- changing the posereplacing the backgroundadding another petusing different reference photosrepainting large portions of the artwork

It depends on the size and background intricacy chosen. The smallest size, 8x10 takes me about 2 weeks. Maybe 3 for a complicated background. But a larger piece would take longer. If you need your artwork sooner, I do offer a rush fee for 25% added to any size painting for a one week turnaround. And 50% for a 4 day turnaround.

Due to the extensive drying process, as well as the fumes that come from it, oil is not the best paint for me! Acrylic is used a LOT in abstraction and experimental artwork, less with realistic portraits... But, Hyper-realists like Chuck Close have definitely demonstrated that you can achieve realism with an amazing level of detail quickly. Its fast drying time allows me to complete a work in layers without having to wait days or weeks in between. My portraits can be completed within a 2 week period, instead of months. source- https://maseda-art.com/en/versatility-in-art-exploring-the-world-of-acrylic-painting

I can paint absolutely any animal you have! Lizard, fish, rat, you name it, I can paint it!

If you have a reference photo of 2 or more of your pets together, then yes! ($0 extra charge) Multiple photos of multiple pets combined into one artwork ($5 customization fee) (It does take a lot more work to combine references but ultimately creates a much more one-of-a-kind artwork!)
