Hello and Welcome to 52 Weeks of Mini Pet Portraits!

52 Weeks of Mini Pet Portraits is a way for you to win a FREE portrait and a way to help me shift my art focus.

Throughout 2026 my goal is to shift my art focus from commissioned only based art, to commissioned art plus pet portrait products (like notepads with dogs on them and stuff). BUT! I need help! I need animals to paint for said products.

For next the 52 Weeks I will be painting a new 6x6 pet portrait each week! Which is why I need your help, I need your pets! There is no obligation to purchase your pet portrait. At the beginning of 2027 we will be voting on the top 5 portraits and those owners will receive their portraits for FREE!

If you would like to submit a photo of your pet for 52 Weeks, fill out the form below and/or read on for more general FAQs.

52 Weeks of Portraits Submission

Below is additional Submission Information, the 52 Weeks Submission Form, and an FAQ.

Please keep in mind that 6x6 is small. The portraits will be a close up of the pet's face, which means that I will not be able to accommodate a range of poses. If you would like more control over the portrait, I would love to make a custom pet portrait for you instead.

As stated before, there is no obligation to purchase your pet's mini portrait. At the beginning of 2027 we will be voting on the top 5 portraits and those owners will receive their portrait for free.

However, if you would like, you can purchase your portrait at any time. If you purchase your portrait and your portrait is later selected as a top 5, you will be refunded the purchase amount. Subscribers to my newsletter will get a 15% discount on their portrait, normally priced at $125. Follow the link below to subscribe to my newsletter:

If you have more than one pet that you would like to submit, please fill out this form a second time. That way I will have a separate form for each pet (thank you in advance).

Also, thank you for participating! Fill out the form below and we will be on our way!

Note: All portrait images will be owned by Katherine Griffin Studio. By participating in 52 Weeks, you agree to allow me to use the portrait I paint of your pet in potential future Griffin Studio products and prints. The photos of your pets will not be used in any products or prints.

How is a Mini Pet Portrait different from a Commissioned Portrait?
- If you submit an image to the mini pet portraits, you do not have to purchase the painting. Commissioned Portraits are paid for.
- Minis are only 6x6. Commissioned Portraits come in any size you want.
- With the Minis, the pet owners have less control over the end product. Yes photos are sent, but I decide on the composition and the coloring. In a Commissioned Portrait you are in charge. Mock-ups are made, and the choice in the end product is yours.
- The Minis will be made into products, Commissioned Portraits are not. They are one of a kind Originals.

Can I purchase my pet portrait before the end of the year's voting?
- YES!

If my portrait is voted as one of the top five, but I have already purchased it, can I get a refund?
- YES!

Can I submit more than one pet?
