Mixed Media Paintings
Showcasing the incredible talent of Tara Richardson
"until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
Enter a magical world where animals roam and sing the song of their people. Here you will find animal paintings created by mixed media artist Tara Richardson.
To say I’m “Krazy About Critters” is seriously an understatement. My whole life has revolved around furry folk. I am in awe of each and every one of them on this planet.
Painting animals is my true passion it's my purpose to bring happiness to animal lovers who LOVE their critters as much as I love mine. ❤️
I wish our fur-babies lived forever but the unfortunate truth is they don’t but I can help preserve their memory with a painting that you will cherish for a lifetime.
A pet portrait for a pet lover of their beloved is the best gift you could ever get them. It is something truly special they can cherish for generations.
I have been told that I capture the soul of an animal which is something a photograph simply cannot do.
Don’t hesitate contact me about painting YOUR fur-baby today

❤️Pet Commissions❤️
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
❤️"Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms"❤️
I work with clients to create meaningful original paintings that will be cherished for generations. My strength lies in how I bring out the soul of your beloved pet on canvas. The end result is a work of art that combines your original vision for the piece with my unique style and execution.
As a mixed media artist I work with different mediums one of which is Digital. I work basically the same in each medium with the exception of the different paint brushes. Digital paintings take just as much time to create but the real upside is no mess to clean up and no fumes plus I don't have to wait for layers of paint to dry first before I continue working on your piece. Your commissioned painting is entirely created by hand. Every single brush stroke with special attention to the smallest details.
Digital painting offers some advantages over traditional painting, flexibility in making changes based on customer’s requests, and also the ability to make duplicates in various sizes for other locations (office, work), family member(s) or friends.
I am happy to offer a free consultation, over the email, to discuss making your idea come to life. I recommend that you be prepared to answer these questions:
❤️ Describe your idea.
❤️What is the occasion of commissioning this painting?
❤️How big would you like the piece to be?
❤️ Pet's Breed and coat color (photos can distort color)
❤️When do you need it finished?
Be prepared to send the photos at the highest resolution possible. These are my requirements when working from client photos: The most important aspect of the picture is to have clear features in the face, eye color, coat, etc.
↝ Avoid flash or high contrast sunlight/dark shadows/filters - There should
be minimal or no distortion.
↝ Multiple photo references are always encouraged so that I can get a general idea of the subject's mannerisms, expressions, and likeness in various lighting situations.
❤️ NOTE: I only work from photos I believe will make a great painting.
↝ After discussing your idea I will send you a digital sketch of your future painting.
↝ After approving the sketch I will start painting. I work first come first serve but I also try to make sure your painting is done within the time frame if it's for a special occasion. I will have a better idea once I've talked to you about your commissioned pet portrait.
↝ Online Proof! Once your order is ready, I will send you an email inviting you to view it online. You will be able to approve it or send me your comments if you require edits.
▬▬▬ FINISHED PAINTING OPTIONS▬▬▬
❤️OPTION 1: You get a high res printable JPG file and you print it yourself -You can have it printed anywhere, in any size, as many times as you wish, as long as it's for personal use (not commercial). Please note that the is for a digital file and no physical print will be provided. ↝ (This is a wonderful option for everyone no matter where you live in the world.)
❤️OPTION 2: I upload your commissioned painting to my art gallery to give you another option on how you would like to receive your painting. You can choose from many different items to print your painting on and it's handy so you can send the link to your family and friends in case they'd like a copy too. (My fees are for the artwork only - framing and printing on merchandise is a separate fee )
▬▬▬ FINISHED PAINTING OPTIONS▬▬▬
↝How long does it take to finish a painting?
It depends on the painting after the sketch phase I can give you a better idea of when it will be done. It can take 1-2 weeks or 1-2 months to complete depending on the complexity.
↝Do you paint other subjects?
I prefer painting animals or animals and people together. I will no longer take commissions just for people portraits without a furry critter along for the ride.
❤️Please note that the color may show or print slightly different from screen to screen ( depend on your settings of computer monitors).
