Custom, Hand-Painted Dog Portraits

Capture the unique spirit and personality of your furry friend with a custom, hand-painted portrait that’s truly one-of-a-kind. Elevate your home decor or gift a masterpiece that will be cherished forever.

Custom made

Your dog isn’t generic. Why should your artwork be?

Ever look at your dog and feel like a simple photograph can’t capture their true spirit? A mass-produced canvas print feels too generic, doesn’t it? And EVERYONE is doing those “put my dog’s head onto a Shakespearean dude” paintings. It’s been done.

Your pup is more interesting than that… and so are you. Show the world how great your dog is with an original masterpiece by an award-winning fine artist.

Getting started is easy.

Meet the Pup

First, you’ll send me a few pics of your pup. Videos are good, too. Anything that helps me get a sense of your dog’s personality and story.

Create the Piece

I’ll take that information and create an original, hand-painted masterpiece that meets your needs and perfectly captures your pup.

Love the Art

Your custom pet portrait is carefully packed and delivered to your doorstep, ready to impress.

Behind the Paintings

About the Artist

Meet Shawn McLaughlin, the designer and artist behind Paint My Pup. With over two decades of professional experience, Shawn transforms pet portraiture into expressive masterpieces. Inspired by the works of greats like Close, Pollock, and Warhol, he infuses each piece with vibrant color and dynamic textures, capturing not just the appearance but the unique personality of each dog.

As a neurodivergent professional, Shawn understands the profound connection that can exist between people and the animals that help them. He goes beyond the typical artist-client interaction, offering a specialized consultation process that includes personality-style matching. Shawn doesn’t just create art; he builds lasting tributes that celebrate the irreplaceable bond between you and your pet.

Here’s what others are saying.

"Shawn completely captured the essence of my lab, Max, in his painting. It's as if Max leapt right onto the canvas. We've gotten so many compliments on this artwork; it's the centerpiece of our living room."
