Custom Watercolor Portrait Or Pet Portrait From Your Photo
Imagine your favorite memory transformed into a gorgeous watercolor! Working from your ideas or photo(s) for reference, I'll create an exquisite custom hand painted watercolor portrait, skillfully hand drawn and painted on archival cold-press watercolor paper. I use only high quality archival materials for my artwork. My paintings are carefully planned and are very realistic…I strive to capture the personality and likeness of the subject. Capturing the detail in lovely, glowing watercolor washes is what I love to do! Don't worry if your pictures aren't perfect…I am used to working with several photos for reference to create a treasured portrait! COMMISSIONING CUSTOM ART IS EASY AND FUN! Message me along with some photos and tell me about your subject. Once I have a look at your photos, we can share our thoughts and ideas and I'll answer any questions you may have on sizes, price, etc. After payment is received, I'll create rough layouts from which to choose your final composition. As I work on the art, I'll include you in the creative process by sending images of the painting in progress for you to approve. Working together this way, we'll make sure that all the details (composition, expression, eye and hair color, etc.) are perfect! It's fun to see your portrait come to life! When the painting is finished, and you approve it, I'll carefully package and ship it out to you! My work is available in many sizes/price ranges with wiggle room for all budgets! 5" x 7" - 150.00 8" x 10" - 300.00 11" x 15" - 600.00 (1 fig.) 795.00 (2 fig.) 16" x 20" - 900.00 (1 fig.) 1060.00 (2 fig.) Larger and custom sizes are also available.

I'm a professional artist specializing in fine art paintings, pet portraits and illustration. I have a fine arts degree with a major in graphic design. I've had over thirty-five years experience in creating custom artwork and design. I create artwork using a wide range of media: traditional watercolor, acrylic, oils, and pen and ink as well as modern hand-painted digital paintings on canvas and archival paper. I use only the highest quality archival materials in creating my work.
Once you choose the subject of your custom painting, we'll work together to make it a reality. Will it be a portrait of your child, a favorite pet or animal, a house portrait or a treasured family memory? I'll closely involve you in the creative process throughout the various stages of painting. With your suggestions and input, every detail will be brought to perfection. It's great fun for you to see your painting develop, and working together in this way we'll create the exact "masterpiece" YOU have in mind!
Painting is my passion; I'm committed to creating the most heartwarming and elegant paintings that I possibly can for my customers, who attest to my patience, close attention to perfection and ability to please!

For Realistic pencil drawing5.0We came up with our idea last minute for Christmas after our son-in-law won the State playoffs med December. We reached out after putting the idea to see if anyone was interested and could possibly get it completed before Christmas. MJ reached out to us and surpassed all of our expectations! Our Christmas is extra special due to her hard work and timely return. She is a true blessing! Thank you MJ and Merry Christmas to all!!! Carl and Pam Robbins

For Bedroom wall art5.0Mary Jill is an exceptional artist. She took our "idea" and created the most beautiful works of art - 3 pieces. She sent us drafts of the works and communicated with us frequently on the progress. She also created a 4th piece that we hadn't considered - it was perfect and we bought all 4! She delivered exactly as promised. We definitely plan to work with Mary Jill in the future and we highly recommend her - for both her talent and her professionalism. Thank you Mary Jill!!

For Inquiry about a custom pet painting5.0MJ was such a joy to work with! I had a pretty unique custom pet art project that I wasn't quite sure how to make it into reality, when I found MJ and shared the idea with her, she immediately started providing many ideas, examples and mockups to help me visualize it. She had many choices of the medium too, and we picked a beautiful wood cut out format in the end that I'd never have imagined to begin with! The creation process was smooth and full of fun, not being an artistic person myself, I asked for her expert opinions on many of my thoughts and she's given me such great advice, that the final art piece turned out stunning :) I already have another project in mind that I'd love to work with her on, I'll definitely be coming back to MJ in the near future!

For Scottish Terrier Dog Silhouette Fine Art Print5.0There is so much to say about this particular artist, Mary Jill Lemieur. Communication throughout has been excellent and even though I am in France, Mary has always seemed to be on the end of an email.
My project was simple in that I only wanted a larger version of what she had to offer. She came back with suggestions of a larger size but, my fault, the size was in inches instead of centimeters, which posed a problem in a country that was metric, therefore frame sizes were difficult to find.
Obviously, postage to Europe was going to be huge, but Mary kindly offered to include another print for the same cost, and I gratefully accepted. Nothing seemed too much trouble.
When Mary had completed the project, she gave me an estimate of the cost with postage, which I paid. She then let me know when it had been posted and so, 5 days later, it arrived at my house in France. It was indeed, very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. The next day, I went out to find frames.
I am very happy with her efforts to help out and give me exactly what I wanted.
