Animal Acrylic Painting

Something I’ve been doing this past year is creating BOLD COLOR ACRYLIC PAINTINGS for animals. They are a little bit wild color wise, and less expensive than the oil painting, mainly because they are less time consuming and they are painted on a less expensive support. You see a layer of acrylic paint dries in about 15 to 20 minutes, where as an oil paint layer will take 7-14 days. Also, I do not use a wood or aluminum panel (this cost alone is averaging $80 to $150 just for one archival panel) but a regular canvas board or canvas support. I do any type of animal: dogs, cats, and horses, etc.

Please look at the following dogs, “Honey” ; and “Emeka, Astraya, and Coco” in these two mediums.

These are acrylic BOLD paintings (wild/bright colors)

For one ANIMAL in bold acrylic colors (a bit on the wild side), this retails and is on a canvas board or canvas (artist’s choice) for $650 plus NMGRT (at 6.1875% tax rate) or $690.22. Shipping is extra (range about $200 — you see, I double box it for protection — for any of these sizes: : 14” x 11”, 12” x 16”, 18” x 14” or a 20 “ x 16” size.

I will consider painting a bigger painting, like a 30” x 40” ($1,068.75) say for a horse plus about $600 for shipping, if any. Contact me for a current estimate. At this time I have no equine references to show you — I use to paint them three decades ago. I know them having grown up in the Thoroughbred industry — and Quater and Arabian horses are welcomed too.

Animal Oil Paintings

The following are examples of oil paintings of the same dogs. For one animal on an archival wood panel or RayMar panel or aluminum panel, a 14” x 11”, 12” x 16”, 18” x 14” retails for $800 plus NMGRT (or $849.50 ) and for a 16” x 20” retails for $900 plus NMGRT (or $955.69) . Shipping is extra.

I will consider painting a bigger painting, like a 30” x 40” on canvas (say for a horse) but the costs will be more. Contact me for an estimate. At this time I have no equine references, yet I know them having grown up in the Thoroughbred industry — and Quarter and Arabian horses are welcomed too.

For “Family and Friends” pricing (at a 10% Discount) : please see the Acrylic painting section above about this.

It takes about 3-5 months to finish an animal oil painting. Add another 7 to 10 days for shipping; contact Artist Bob for an estimate at 505-228-5409.
