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.


		“The portraits that you painted of my beloved Mini Schnauzers are some of my most favorite and prized positions. I'll have them and love them forever. You both were so professional and easy to work with. You made me feel very important and that I was a valued client. It was a smooth and easy process to let you know what I was interested in, you listened and delivered exactly what I had in mind only better! My sincere thanks for the experience.” — Robin Clark and Cody and Cassidy Clark, Greensboro, North Carolina

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.

		"Clooney and I have been discussing it and we feel he’s really meant to be immortalized in portraiture and who better to paint this momentous portrait than one of his best friends, Todd who Clooney calls the best artist in the world. Photos are so ephemeral and anyone with a cellphone can take a selfie. But all presidents, kings, etc have portraits painted. Clooney is comfortable with being in the company of presidents and kings, though he pays them no more attention than common people. As usual, Todd has captured the spirit of his subject perfectly. A portrait fit to be hung in a great hall.” — Julie P., Winston Salem, North Carolina
