Some examples of before & after pet paintings
Yes, I'm so excited! How do I get started?
How does the studio differ from traditional painters?
Each commission begins with a reference image which is then transformed into a work of art on canvas using a mixed media hybrid painting approach that incorporates electronic brushes and a digital tablet alongside traditional artist’s oils and glazes.
What sets the studio apart from a traditional painting studio is that, since the paintings are based directly on a reference image, the painting will always carry your pet companion's likeness and unique personality all the way through to the finished work.
Why take the chance that your painting not be exactly the way you expect?
Frequently asked questions

What is a painted pet portrait?
A painted portrait combines photography and painting together. Using a modern hybrid mixed media approach, I blend a variety of mediums and tools, including electronic brushes, a digital tablet, and traditional artists' oils and glazes.
Each painting commission begins with one or more reference images and is transformed into a work of art, initially on the computer using a painting software, to deconstruct and to rebuild the image, stroke by stroke, as a hand-painted rendering. Following the initial rendering, the painted portrait is transferred to canvas and is enhanced with oils, textures and glazes. In the end, you'll have a painting you'll love!
How are you different from a traditional artist?
While a traditional fine artist starting from a blank canvas has extraordinary talent, there are times that a pet's likeness may not carry through to the end. With the traditional arts, there is always the chance that a finished painting might not actually look like them. Why take the chance that your painting might not be exactly the way you expected?
Modern tools today provide the advantage of electronically compositing and constructing the ideal reference image long before the first stroke begins. The reference image I use for any given painting might come from a combination of multiple images blended together. You'll be able to have the painting you always wanted and be able to see the progress along the way.
What does a painting cost?
A charming classic head & shoulders portrait painting of a single pet's face ranges between $1200-1600, and is finished in an intimate 10" or 12" size.
Paintings with two or more pets, or a painting that includes your pet's torso, can range from $1900-3200 and will vary in investment based on size, scale and complexity. Together we'll discover where you envision displaying the finished art in your home and I'll assist you to determine the ideal scale for you to enjoy it every day! 🐾
How do I know if my photograph will work as a painting?
Great question! The best plan is to email or text your photograph (sometimes a few reference photos are helpful) and we'll discuss which would make a great painting.
You may be surprised by what can work as a reference photo. Even with those less-than-perfect photographs, beautiful paintings can emerge. Before dismissing any photos as not being worthy, please share them to bobbie@bobbiebush.com. I'll typically get back to you the same day.
How long does it take?
Great question.
It varies depending on the number of commissions I am working on at the time. In most cases, commissions take 6-12 weeks to allow for revisions, proper dry time and/or framing. Some commissions can be turned around sooner if there is a special occasion that needs to be met!
Every pet has a unique personality and their own story. Let me help you express it.

"Bobbie Bush is amazing. Professional, personal and her work is amazing. She did portraits of my two dogs and they are so beautiful and full of life! I love having them hang in my dog training area. She was easy to work with and kept in touch throughout the whole process."
