Pastels by Kaye Smillie

Pastels, Charcoal, Conté Crayon

"Pastel is possibly the purest form of painting. We work with pigment and little else."

Amanda McLean

After a long break from pastels, I have rediscovered them and realize how very well they suit my personality

Prices for Pastel Portraits of Pets

$200......head and shoulders of pet
$300......a head and shoulders composition of two pets in the same format
$450......full pastel painting of child and pet (unframed)

I will immortalize anything that barks, meows, neighs, clucks (yes, I have even done chickens and roosters) moos or laughs......a portrait of your child with a pet is a keepsake to treasure.  This is a wonderful Christmas, birthday or retirement present for the animal lover in your family.  Here is the procedure:

If you live somewhere between Victoria or Nanaimo, I will come to you with camera in hand and take multi photos.  If it is more convenient, you can also come to me in Cobble Hill.  I try to get the pose that shows the pet off to its best advantage.  The photo that I use will be enlarged and given to you along with the pastel portrait. 

If you live outside of this area and wish to have a portrait commissioned, you can send or e-mail me a favourite photo of your pet.

E-mail me to set up an appointment.
