Custom Painted Urn for Dogs

These portrait urns wonderfully capture the spirit of your dog. They are all unique and painted directly from photos of your own pet. Not much needs to be said about them, as the pictures tell it all. The soulful eyes, the happy smiles, the strong, powerful gazes. I focus on capturing the essence of your little, or big angel. To be with you always.

All I need from you is a photo of your dog and we can get started painting their portrait from there. If you are unsure of what photo to use, you can send me a few and I can let you know which is going to work best. Please note that I work directly from the photo, so a direct, forward facing image will be the best. I can also sculpt the ears to match as well, if you like. Dogs with ears that hang close to their head are usually painted instead of sculpted, but it is all up to you.

Please let me know any questions you may have. I know how hard this can be, and this option can be a wonderful way to keep those wonderful memories close to your heart. Let us help you honor your fabulous pup.

With love,

Alex

If you have a kitty, please see examples on my painted portrait cat urns page.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break,that its

heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart in wonder

at the daily miracles of your life, your pain

would not seem less wondrous than your joy;

And you would accept the seasons of your

heart, even as you have always accepted

the seasons that pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity

through the winters of your grief.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the

physician within you heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink

his remedy in silence and tranquillity:

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips,
has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter
has moistened with His own sacred tears. – Kahlil Gibran
