Whenever I'm not making scale-model miniatures, I paint. My specialty is cats, but I've also painted many portraits of other kinds of pets (dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and birds, mostly)... and people, too. I currently have several pet portraits for sale on Etsy, a venue devoted to original art and handmade crafts.

I work in acrylics on canvas, wood and paper. My paintings range from wall-sized to only 1 inch square. I welcome custom orders. It isn't necessary for the model to sit for me, as I work entirely from photos. The price for a portrait depends on the size and surface medium. All paintings are unframed. Shipping costs vary, depending on the size and weight of the finished piece. For further details, please e-mail to: info@BarbPlevan.com. And please feel free to sign my guest book if you would like to comment about my work.
