Can you work from an old picture, its all I have?
Your photograph should be as clear
as possible. However, if you horse or dog is no longer with you, I will do my best to work from your picture and help you
to have a nice work of art to enjoy.
What if I don’t have a clear picture?
See Commission A Portrait and see if you can take a new one.
Or you may send the photo and if it is not useable, I will let you know. I will return
both the photo and your payment with no charge. I will do my best to work from your picture and help you to have a nice work
of art to enjoy. Because of experience with dogs and horses I know them very well and can generally make you a nice portrait.
I only have one or two pictures, is that ok?
Yes, that is ok, just try to send the best
that you have.
Will my picture be returned to me?
Yes, absolutely, your photos will be handled with
the utmost care and return to you.
Can I send a Polaroid picture?
Yes, Polaroid shoots, in general, are not the best to
work from. But if that is all you have and your precious friend is not available, then by all means lets see if we can use
it. Sending reference photos in that case would be advisable.
Can I send a regular picture from my 35 mm camera?
Yes, that’s great, as long
as they are clear.
Can I send a digital picture?
Yes, digital photos are fine as long as they are clear.
Is a 4 x 6 picture ok to send?
Yes, the size of the picture is ok, but the most important
thing is the clarity of the picture.
Do you have Gift Certificates?
Yes, we do and what a great surprise they make for gifts.
If I am in your neighborhood what is the best way for me to place an order.
You are welcome do what is best for you, drop off your order, mail your order, or use the web site.
I would be happy to meet you.
Local Orders: Arrangements can be made, just let us know when you would like to drop off your order. Now,
I didn’t say drop off your dog or horse. I may fall in love with them and want to keep them. Although I have had many
four legged visitors, and I just love them. They come in shy and then they get comfy, then they don’t want to go because
they know they are loved here.
Your photos will be handled with the utmost care and return to you.
Bottom Line - “I care about your portrait being a good representation of your
horse or dog.” Diane Grant Czajkowski
Notice: We reserve the right to only do portraits that are in good taste. Questionable materials will
not be accepted, your request for artwork may be refused if it is outside of the artist field of choice or if artist does
not feel it is suitable for her style. The artist is accepting commissions to display beauty and grace of the animal kingdom
and the Great Creator who formed them.
This has no reflection on the quality of your photograph itself, but rather on the content of the photo.
Your photograph should be as clear as possible. However if you horse or dog is no longer with you, I will
do my best to work from your picture.
