Soul Mirror Pet Portrait Commission — Deposit to Reserve Your Date

Your pet doesn't just live in your home. They live in your soul. What if someone painted that?

A Soul Mirror Pet Portrait is not a likeness. It is a revelation — a painting that captures the essence, the spirit, and the mythic presence of your beloved animal companion. Working from a deep consultation about your pet's personality, your bond, and the imagery that feels true, Carol paints the soul of your animal in oil on canvas, embellished with Preciosa Maxima crystals that catch the light the way love catches us off guard.

Every portrait is one of a kind. No two animals are the same. No two paintings will ever be the same.

A note from Carol:

Animals have always found me. They stop when they pass me on the street. They stare. We communicate — and they know it. I see it in their faces. Some of them pull their owners over just to say hello. I don't fully understand it, but I've stopped questioning it. I paint what I feel from them — and what I feel is always true.

The $650 deposit reserves a one-day hold on the calendar and is applied toward your total commission price. All details, sizing, and final pricing are confirmed during your consultation.

What's possible:

• A single pet portrait — intimate, luminous, and deeply personal
• A pet with their human — the bond made visible
• Multiple pets together — the whole pack, the whole family
• A diptych — two paintings that speak to each other across the wall

How it works:

1. Pay your deposit — secures a one-day hold on the calendar
2. Consultation — Carol reaches out to schedule a consultation — by phone, Zoom, or WhatsApp for international clients — to explore your pet's spirit, discuss imagery, palette, size, and vision. A firm total price is agreed upon.
3. Confirmed on the calendar — once details and payment are finalized, your date is locked in
4. Balance paid in full — remaining balance is invoiced and paid before work begins
5. Carol paints — your Soul Mirror Portrait is brought to life in oils and Preciosa Maxima crystals on canvas

The deposit is non-refundable once the consultation has taken place.
