Collection of Oil Paintings-Faces of Pets, People and Animals by CShore as of January 2024

 Happy New Year-Celebrating Five Years Painting with Oils

 Since spring of 2019 I began painting with oils with the goal of working en plein air. Creating these paintings took lots of practice and experimentation in the studio from photos, still lives and sometimes venturing outside. I now have a body of work to display as a collection of my efforts. The journey has led me to painting pets, animals and even a few self portraits, plus nature and local and regional landscapes. I hope you enjoy and I'm always happy to answer any questions about purchases or commissions.

I add to my blog site as I create new works and then up date collections for easier viewing.

Thanks Colleen Shore

Pet Portraits/Commission Pricing

Always a pleasure to capture the memories of peoples pets. Commissions accepted, portraits are from  customer photos done in my studio. 

If you're interested in commissioning a pet portrait. Here are the details.

Pet Portrait pricing starts at $50 for a 5x7 (unframed)-small but ok for head shots, $75 for an 8x10 (unframed)- great for a single pet. $125 for an 11x14 (unframed). For each additional pet in the portrait add another $25. Shipping is extra (if needed) and generally runs, $8-$20 dollars in the U.S. depending on the location. These are common sizes allowing you to purchase ready made frames. Keep in mind no glass or matting needed for an oil painting.

Please allow 4-8 weeks to complete.

                 

The process includes the time to confer back and forth plus the time to dry. I work from your photograph, keep in mind photos that show a clear face and eyes, plus represent the colors of fur make for a better portrait. Exotic pets are also welcome. Contact me at cshoreartwork@gmail.com

 People & Gatherings

It became a challenge to paint people when we began the isolation of the pandemic. I missed gatherings and enjoyed reminiscing by painting past events, longing for those days to return. From friends to family who are sometimes my unsuspecting models.
