This is the fabulous portrait
Doris Howard painted for the winner of our 2025 Valentine's Raffle!

What the winner will receive:​

  • A treasured drawing of your pet done in high quality Prismacolor pencils on pastel paper, including a
    2” cream colored mat

  • Retail value of this personal memory of your pet is valued at $300+

  • A drawing is based on photos you provide.
    (*In particular situations, the artist will work with you on taking the photos).
    Ms. Howard is very realistic in her approach. By using colored pencils, subtle details of individual hairs/fur, feathers/scales, can be reproduced to capture the personality of your pet (you may only have one in the portrait).

  • Average size of the finished drawing is approximately 11” x 14”, without mat. (Size will vary depending if the whole animal is drawn, or just a face/closeup)

  • Depending on when the artist receives you photo, it can take between 8-12 weeks the finished portrait
