Pretty-Darn Quick Pet Portraits with The Roaming Buffalo Art

Scales, fur, or feathers, every pet deserves a portrait.

Avalon Exotics is teaming up with Sam from The Roaming Buffalo Art for an evening of Pretty-Darn Quick Pet Portraits. Walk in with a photo of your pet (or bring them with you), and Sam will paint a live watercolor portrait right in front of you in about 30 minutes.

Sam describes these as “semi-accurate,” which is part of the charm. Each piece is quick, loose, and full of personality, from frogs to lizards to the family dog. You’ll leave with a 5″ x 7″ original watercolor of your pet, a one-of-a-kind keepsake that also makes a great holiday gift.

No appointment needed. Just stop in anytime between 5 and 8 PM. Part of the proceeds will go to Peculiar Pets.

Bringing your pet? A photo works great and keeps things easy. If you’d like to bring your animal in, please keep them secure and comfortable the whole time, in a carrier, travel enclosure, or on a leash, and keep visits short for animals that stress easily. When in doubt, the photo is the way to go.
