ASHES TRIBUTE PET PORTRAITS

Making Pet Portraits more personal than ever before

Ashes Tribute Pet Portraits

I am so excited to now be offering Pet Portraits painted with your Companion's Ashes incorporated into the painting.

My Inspiration

 Sometimes it is hard to know what to do with our precious Pet's ashes (speaking from personal experience) and it has been on my heart, for a while now, to offer a Painting that is even more personal to you, of your beloved pet.


Speaking with my supportive and ever encouraging colleague, she had a thought of incorporating ashes into my artwork. As soon as she mentioned this, it just spoke to me and I just knew I had to look into offering this as a service. 

Painting with Ashes

I chose to paint my beautiful boy, Jake, who I lost a few years ago and painted a Pet Portrait with his Ashes incorporated. It was a very emotional Portrait to paint but it has helped me see just how meaningful these Portraits are, and to know that my beautiful boy is there in the Portrait makes it so very precious to me. I completely understand that this is not for everyone but please do feel free to get in touch if you'd like more information or if this is of interest to you.


Please feel free to read more about ordering a bespoke Ashes Tribute Pet Portrait below.

Please see below more details about the ordering process (please note that this goes into more detail about cremated remains)

  

Thank you for your interest in ordering an Ashes Tribute Pet Portrait from me.


I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am so sorry for your loss. I know this may be a very hard time for you (or your loved one). I also know, from personal experience, just how broken we can feel when we lose our Pets. It can be hard to decide what to do with our Companion's ashes, so a bespoke, painted Pet Portrait with your precious Pet's ashes incorporated may just be the option for you. 


  • This process doesn't require a lot of your Companion's ashes. When you place an order with me I will send out a small screw-top pot and spatula to collect a small sample (please note, I will require an address from you in order to send this pot and spatula to you). An instruction sheet will also be included to assist you.


  • The pot will have the pet's name on and your unique invoice number so that I know when I've received your pet's ashes back to me. 


  • I will enclose an envelope with my address on it ready for you to send the pot back to me. (If you send a photo of the postage receipt, this postage will be deducted off of final balance).


  • Once I've received your Companion's ashes I will let you know and begin painting your precious Pet for you, in the time frame given at the time of ordering.


  • I will draw out the pencil outline and send this over to you so you can check you're happy with the general layout. I will then begin painting for you. (see more details below about the ordering/painting process).


  • I gently mix the Ashes into the paint and start painting the base layers of the Portrait. This allows them to be safely sealed into the painting as I paint over the top with more details.


  • There are 3 x options for incorporating the Ashes - to have them painted in the background only, the pet only, or I can incorporate them throughout the painting (background and pet).


  • I will ALWAYS keep your pet's separate from any other Ashes Tribute Portraits. This is to ensure it is 100% only your Pet's ashes on your Canvas Portrait.


  • If you wish, any ashes that aren't used can be sent back to you with your finished Painting.


CAUTION

Handling your Canvas ~ although every care has been made to incorporate the Ashes into the paint, with additional paint coats painted over the top and the painting is also sealed with a matt varnish, please treat the canvas delicately.

I am here for you...

I completely understand that this may be a very upsetting time/subject for you. Our Pets are more than a four legged friend, they are family! It breaks us when they have gone and we long to have something to remember them by, something to feel they are close. I feel that a Painting of them with their precious ashes in can help to ease that pain.


If you would like to contact me I can go through everything step by step, at a more convenient pace for you. I am also more than happy to call you to discuss further if this helps.


I can let you know what is involved and what I would need from you in regards to the ordering process. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have more questions or queries or if you'd like to place an order with me.

Contact Me

PLACING AN ORDER

If you are interested in ordering a bespoke Pet Portrait please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can contact me through the CONTACT page through this website, message me through my Facebook/Instagram pages (links located at bottom of HOME page) or email rvlpaintings@yahoo.co.uk with any order queries.


WHAT I NEED FROM YOU

All I ask, is for you to send me as many photos of your Pet(s) as you can. I can then go through them and select the best one to create the most detailed/realistic painting possible (please note: the higher the quality photo the better the finished painting). I cannot work from blurry or bad quality images as I wouldn't be able to offer the high quality finished product that I aim for.


TWO OR MORE PETS ON ONE CANVAS/PORTRAIT

If you are ordering a Canvas or Portrait with more than one Pet I ask that, wherever possible, the photo has all Pets in the one photo, so please try to get as many photos as you can with all the Pets together. This makes for a much more natural finished painting as I feel adding Pets from various photos can look quite 'messy' on a canvas (but I do appreciate this is not always possible). PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED A QUOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE PET.


DEPOSIT

I ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure your order.


These deposits are taken once we have discussed and confirmed your order. I will send all the details over to you for you to check and then the deposit is taken if/when you are happy to proceed. Deposits are also taken to cover supply costs. For the Ashes Tribute Portraits I will require an address to send a small pot out to you.


I take payments through Bank Transfers or PayPal (details will be shown on Invoice). The remaining balance is due once your order is finished and just before I post it out to you.


ARE YOU KEPT INFORMED/UPDATED?

Yes! One of my main aims is to keep you as updated and informed as possible on the process of your order. I will begin by confirming your order to you, once you are happy and have paid the Deposit I will begin on your painting! I always give the option for me to send a photo of the outline drawing to you, so you can check you are happy with the layout etc before I start to paint. Once painting begins I like to keep in touch and let you know how I am getting on (I do give the option of sending some update photos but most people prefer to wait to see the finished painting, but it is always an option if you would like to see the progression/stages of your painting).


ONCE I HAVE COMPLETED YOUR ORDER

Once your painting is complete I will let you know (and give you the option of seeing a photo of the finished painting or leaving it as a surprise)! I then ask for the remaining payment before I send the finished painting to you.


DELIVERY

All my prices INCLUDE delivery worldwide. I send all my Paintings so they have to be signed for and also so you have a tracking number (so you can keep updated with where your Portrait is). There are no hidden charges anywhere. 


TURNAROUND

Please allow 12 - 20 weeks for the artwork to be ready to post to you as it just depends on the amount of current orders I have. If you do require a painting by a specific date (i.e. a Birthday or Anniversary) then, wherever possible, I will try to get the painting to you by this date (additional charges may apply).


REVIEWS

Once you have received your painting I would be most grateful if you could leave a review on  my Facebook page! 


If you have any queries or wish to place an order then do not hesitate to contact me.


Warmest Regards,

RVL Paintings
