Situation in Australia is devastating. Nearly half a billion animals were killed by the fire.2,000 houses were burned down. And still no sign of calming down.

Furry Friends Portrait!

Hi everyone!!I have been preparing for my new project "Furry Friends Portrait" for a while. And now, I am discounting the first 12 requests for the special New Year's celebration price of $45!! (plus shipping). The portrait will be painted on a piece of randomly torn brown paper bag. The size varies but it will be a piece which fits in a 5"x7"clear bag. I am attaching some example photos of them. Picture how it would look with your own furry friend!I can fit only one furry friend into a 5" x 7" portrait, but if you would like two or three friends in the scene, please let me know. I can arrange something larger for a different price.But if you order two single portraits, I will give a discounted price of $84. (two separate portraits, each piece having one furry friend. )Shipping and handling is $5 for one order, and $6 for two orders if you are in the US. (If you order two, I will send them together in one envelope.) If you are not in the US, please let me know. It will be sent in a flat envelope via USPS first class. I will send them within 3-10 business days unless I inform you of a delay- something that has never happened in eight years of selling on Etsy. I will send wherever the post person can reach, but I can not guarantee the arrival date as the post office may delay for reasons beyond my control. I will notify you once I ship your order so you can keep en eye on it. If you need express or signature confirmation, please convo me!I take only PayPal payment for now.If this sounds good to you, please email me at naokosstoop@gmail.com ( this is not PayPal address, so please do NOT send payment here! ) Email two or more of your furry friend's photos (whole body shown including his/her tail.) I will draw as I see your furry friend in the photo. You can send a few and I will pick one. Then I will let you know where to send the payment. I need about 3-10 business days from the day I receive payment.The painting is as it is. I will do my very best
