Contemporary Realism Portraits of Dogs & Horses

Some stories deserve to be told beyond a photograph.

Andrea Webb Photography now offers custom acrylic painting commissions of dogs and horses, created in a contemporary realism style that captures expression, presence, and personality. These paintings are thoughtfully crafted using either professional session images from Andrea Webb Photography or high-quality reference photos you already have.

While Andrea is newer to acrylic painting, she has developed a deep love for the medium — especially the way acrylics allow texture, depth, and emotion to come through in a way that feels both modern and timeless.

Each piece is painted by hand and created with care, patience, and respect for the animal it represents.

What These Paintings Are Perfect For

• Celebrating your dog or horse in a new artistic form

• Memorial pieces honoring beloved past pets

• Meaningful, personal artwork for your home

• A painted companion to an existing portrait session

These commissions are especially meaningful for clients who already have a connection to Andrea’s photography style and want to continue that story in paint.

Reference Photos

Paintings can be created from:

• Professional images from a session with Andrea Webb Photography

• Client-provided photos, including quality phone images

For best results, reference photos should have:

• Good, even lighting

• Minimal harsh shadows

• A clear, sharp image showing the animal’s expression

Andrea is happy to help select the best image if you’re unsure.

Background Options

Clients may choose between:

• Original background from the reference photo

• Simple black background portrait, inspired by Andrea’s fine art photography style

Background choice will be discussed during the commission process.

Important Notes

A Thoughtful Way to Remember & Celebrate

These paintings are created with heart — whether honoring a cherished companion who has passed or celebrating the bond you share right now. Using photography as a foundation allows Andrea to bring familiar emotion into a new medium, creating artwork that feels personal and lasting.
