Custom Toy Portrait
**Please note: The photos are examples only – all paintings are custom orders.**
Give a child a gift they will cherish forever – a custom painting of their first best friend!
Custom painting in mixed media (watercolor, gouache, pencil, ink) is based on a photo you submit of the child’s favorite toy. 3 sizes available. All paintings done on high quality 140lb cold press watercolor paper.
Portraits can be ordered framed or unframed. The eco-friendly recycled white wood frames come with a glass front and a white, acid-free 4-ply beveled mat. 4×6 portraits are framed in an 8×10 frame, 6×9 portraits are framed in a 9×12 frame, and 9×12 portraits are framed in an 11×14 frame.
After purchasing the painting, please go to the contact page to email a photo and some brief information about the toy.
Can’t decide which toy is your child’s favorite? Paintings of multiple toys together are possible – if you wish a painting to include multiple toys, please photograph the toys together as you would like them painted. There is no extra charge for including more than one toy in a painting.
I will email you to confirm receipt of payment and of the photograph.
Turnaround time is approximately 2 weeks – faster turnaround is usually possible if an express request is submitted at the time of purchase.
All paintings ship by USPS Priority Mail.

Toy Portrait Gift Certificates
If you wish to give a custom toy portrait as a gift but don’t have a photo or are unsure which is the child’s favorite, a gift certificate is the perfect solution! The recipient chooses the toy to be painted, but the thoughtful gift remains from you.
The Gift Certificate is good for one custom toy portrait. 3 sizes are available, with the option of custom matting and framing for an additional $30.
You can choose to have the gift certificate sent to you, sent straight to the recipient with a personal message of your choosing, or I can send it to you as a digital file for you to print at home. Please let me know in the comments at checkout where you would like the certificate sent. If you are requesting the certificate sent straight to the recipient, please specify any personal note to be included.
Please note the shipping cost for this purchase includes the cost of shipping the painting to the recipient.
Other Custom Paintings

Although my primary business is toy portraits, I am frequently approached to paint custom portraits of people, pets, favorite flowers (hint: a custom portrait of the wedding bouquet is a great gift for the bride that has everything) and just about anything else that’s special to someone.
The custom painting in mixed media (watercolor, gouache, pencil, ink) is based on a photo you submit of the special commission subject.
