Who Loves Their Pet?
Frequently Asked Questions
Adorned Bliss creates custom pet portraits, original artwork, gifts, and keepsakes designed to celebrate the animals and memories that mean the most to you. Each custom portrait is created from photographs you provide and is made specifically for you.
2. Is the portrait an original hand painted watercolor?
Yes. Every painting is a 100% hand-painted original: from the first stroke to the last touch of watercolor paint, each painting is tailor-made for you, unique and never repeated. The portrait is not done on a computer.
3. What if my favorite photo isn't very good quality?
Send it along with several clearer photographs if possible. A favorite photo can help show the expression, while clearer reference pictures can provide the details needed to create the portrait.
4. Can you create a portrait of a pet who has passed away?
Yes. Memorial portraits are a very special part of what I do. Please send whatever photographs you have available, even if they aren't perfect.
5. Will I receive a photo of the finished painting prior to shipping?
Yes, I will send a photo of the completed portrait for your approval before shipping.
6. Will the colors look exactly the same on my screen and in person?
Screens display colors differently, and photographs of artwork can also vary with lighting. Slight differences between what you see on a monitor and the physical artwork are normal.
7. Can I share a photo of my finished portrait on social media?
Of course. We love seeing finished artwork in its new home. If you'd like, tag or mention Adorned Bliss when sharing.
8. How long will it take?
These portraits are made to order. I aim to create your portrait within 2-3 weeks. Ordering around the holidays? Be sure to order at least 2 months in advance to ensure your portrait is delivered on time. Normally, production begins after we have received the required photographs, order information, and any required payment.
9. Can I ask you not to show my pet or artwork publicly?
Yes. If privacy is important to you, contact us and let us know.
10. When do I pay?
Payment timing depends on the checkout/payment method currently offered by the site. Any amount due will be clearly shown before you complete your order.
11. Can I order a portrait as a gift?
Definitely. Pet portraits make meaningful birthday, holiday, memorial, anniversary, wedding, and “just because” gifts.
12. What are commission slots?
Because custom portraits are created individually, only a certain number of commissions may be accepted during a particular period.
13. What does “portrait spots available” mean?
It shows approximately how many custom portrait commissions are currently available before the schedule is full.
14. What happens when all commission spots are filled?
Custom portrait ordering may temporarily close. Depending on current settings, you'll be able to join a waiting list or see when commissions are expected to reopen.
15. How does the waiting list work?
If commissions are full, submit your contact information through the waiting-list form. I'll use it to contact you when additional portrait availability opens.
16. Does joining the waiting list guarantee a portrait?
No. It lets me know you're interested and gives me a way to contact you when availability changes.
17. Can I contact you before placing an order?
Absolutely. Use the Contact page if you have questions about a photograph, special request, deadline, gift idea, or unusual pet.
