Custom Portrait Art by Robin Zebley, Pet Portraits, House Portraits, Kids Portraits and Boat Portraits

What more can I say?  Pictures speak louder than words (although I am a real gabber), so here's more samples of my custom pet portraits and custom house portraits.  I'm in the Philadelphia area, and the house below is from my neighborhood!  But I paint and draw homes and pets from all over the country, all I need is your photos!

Yellow Lab and Beagle Portrait, Painting by Robin Zebley, Portrait Artist

  

This is a family portrait of dogs, I used an array of photos to compose the painting.  It's 16" x 20" oil on canvas.  These cuties live in Baton Rouge!  Beagles and Labs make great siblings, don't you think?


 

Custom Pet Portraits, Cat painting in oils on canvas and pitbull in colored pencil



I create portraits from an array of your photos, the tabby cat portrait above is an oil painting.  I started out in colored pencil, I just love the detail and lush color I can get by pushing this unusual fine art medium to its limits!  Here's two Golden Retrievers' portraits I finished recently.


English White Golden Retrievers Custom Portrait by me, Robin Zebley

They are brothers, and I loved their expressive faces and wanted their personalities to show through in their portrait.  How do I capture their unique personalities?  I will ask you to tell me something about them.  I feel like when I know more about them, it comes through, and shows in their beautiful eyes.  It is so important to me that your portrait look like YOUR Golden Retriever, not just A Golden Retriever, you know?



Custom House Portrait, Cincinnati, Ohio

I have been creating custom portraits from photos for over eleven years for happy clients all over the world!   I work from your photos, usually a combination of them.



Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Custom Portrait

My studio is in my 1922 bungalow just outside of Philadelphia, on the way to Wilmington, where I am kept company by my boxer, Sarge.  I know how precious pets are! 

And a portrait makes such a meaningful gift! There is not a gift you can give that they will treasure more....forever.  Many of my portraits are purchased as wedding gifts, both house paintings and pets.  I've even done "blended pet families", for wedding gifts!

Memorial Portraits are so special, and I'm honored to be chosen to create a remembrance that I know will be treasured forever and bring a smile as they remind us of the joy and happy memories of our beloved pets.

No perfect photo?  This adorable English bulldog was not lying on a wood floor, no rug, no beloved baseball next to him!  I worked with his "mom" to add in details to make a pleasing composition AND added details to make it meaningful!
