I'm Billie Mann, and welcome to Art By Billie!  My lifelong love of art
and animals has brought me to this great little corner of the world -
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

My mediums are oil on canvas, acrylic on canvas, graphite on
bristol or charcoal paper, pen and ink on bristol,
and digital art (for commercial/advertising purposes only).  

Pet portraiture is my specialty, but I also accept commissions
for paintings of seascapes, celebrities,
and
drawings of people in the private sector (common folk like us).  

Some things to consider when considering commissioning a portrait:

- Portraits are based on photographs supplied by the client.  
Well-focused and lit photos of y
our pet are the key to a strong portrait.
In general, the better the photo, the better the finished painting.

- All paintings are created on acid-free 100% cotton canvas
stretched onto high quality all wood stretcher bars with, 3/4" or 7/8" paintable sides.  
I extend the portrait onto the sides, and attach hangers to the back.
My paintings do not require framing, and are ready to hang straight from the box.
