Endearing Custom Portraits Painted from Your Photos!

Jimmydog Custom Portraits

Capture your memories with an endearing custom portrait painted by renowned North Carolina portrait artist Todd Belcher, specializing in custom painted pet portraits.

Todd is known for his colorful, stylistic interpretations and his ability to create a composite portrait from multiple photographs. He draws and paints every custom portrait by hand, utilizing his exceptional artistic gift to convey the unique spirit and likeness of his subjects.

You can commission a portrait of your beloved pet or a special child, family member or friend, and Todd will create a custom portrait from your photographs. You can also commission a pencil or painted portrait from multiple photos, and Todd will place all the subjects together in one work of original custom portrait art.

This is unique because it can create a cherished portrait of your relatives or ancestors, placing them together even if they are not in the same original photograph. Todd also accepts commissions for custom pencil and painted portraits of architecture, including homes and churches.

Custom portraits make a distinctively wonderful gift, especially for the pet lover. A custom painted pet portrait can be a treasured way to immortalize a lost pet, honoring their unconditional love through art.

Also available are fine art prints for anyone who wishes to share their custom portrait with friends and loved ones. Each fine art print captures the rich color and detail of the original portrait and is hand-signed by the artist. For more information, visit the Commission a Portrait page.


	I'm most struck by Todd Belcher's ability to convey the unique spirit of an animal in his paintings, especially given the mishmash of photos I've provided him to use as the basis for portraits. My cat, Helen, had been deceased for a couple of years when I had Todd paint her. The day I hung the portrait, Helen's sister-cat Gertrude, would not take her eyes off it. She stared and stared, convinced that her nemesis Helen had returned from the dead. I don't think anyone could have given the painting a higher compliment! — Julie Palm, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Personalized Letters from the Rainbow Bridge

After Todd and Stephanie Belcher lost their beloved dog Jimmy, the namesake of their family run business, Jimmy sent them letters from beyond the Rainbow Bridge. He wrote letters telling of his time there and the arrivals of many other cherished pets. Now Jimmy can send you a personalized, hand-crafted letter from the Rainbow Bridge. Letters come in beautifully decorated envelopes illustrated by hand. Learn more about receiving a letter from Jimmy from beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

		“The portrait is great!! Todd has really captured her personality. It's perfect and I love it. I can't wait to surprise my husband with it. I've started getting together the pictures of my other dog and cat. I'll finish getting those together and send them along. I can't wait to see what Todd can do with the two of them together.” — Marybeth Broadwater, Southfield, MI
