Celebrate the love you have for your pets with a custom portrait by Barking Dog Creations! Each portrait is created from a photograph that you provide. The photo should be high resolution (if you need help with this contact me) and should be the style you would like to see in your final portrait. The painting will be completed in oils on a gallery wrapped canvas that will not require framing. I will work with you each step of the way to ensure you receive exactly what you are hoping for. I do my best to capture the spirit of your dog and your portrait will be completed in the style of the portraits you see here at Custom Made.

"AMAZING! CONSTANT COMMUNICATION! MADE SURE IT WAS PERFECT! I LOVE HER AND HER PRODUCTS!" - Jesse Brooke
"Very talented and kind seller! One of our beloved dogs recently passed away, and Evelyn recreated a perfect drawing of her (from the photo I emailed) and set inside a very nice key chain. Now I will also have something to remind me of a dog wherever I go. Thank you, Evelyn - you did an amazing job, and it was exactly the way I hoped it would be!" - Janie Smith
"I received the ornament with a beautiful pencil sketch of my Havanese, Virginia today. Evelyn did such a great job. It is a wonderful christmas gift for me and my two children!" - Amelia Miller
In 2010 I created the event theme and image, “A New Leash on Life,” for the annual Art of Rescue fund raising event held by Florida Boxer Rescue at the Tampa Florida Art Museum. I receive many requests from rescue organizations to donate custom pet portraits to be auctioned at fund raisers. Cocker Spaniel, Boxer, Golden Retriever, Greyhound, SPCA organizations and many more have all requested and been recipients of my donations.
My fine art is represented by Rhea Chiles’ Studio at Gulf and Pine on Anna Maria Island Florida, DeZion Gallery in Springdale Utah, and held in private collections throughout the US, Australia, France, Spain and the Netherlands. I have been awarded artist residencies at Zion National Park, Weir Farm National Historic Center, Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts, the Jentel Foundation, and Dorland Mountain Arts Colony. I also serve on the governing board of Myakka River State Park with a dedication to bring artists and nature together. WILD: Artists and Animals of Myakka, an annual fundraiser featuring top artists of the Sarasota area is curated by Evelyn.
