Beth Carlson

ABOUT BETH CARLSON

Beth’s canine commissioned oil paintings along with her narrative work, equine and fox paintings in landscapes have been coveted by collectors worldwide. She is well-known for capturing each individual dog’s personality.

 In her narrative paintings Beth proves to be a witty storyteller of a dog’s life. For portraiture, her ability to constantly capture an individual animal’s personality and physical characteristics can be directly attributed to her far-reaching knowledge pertaining to animals in general. “She possesses a conviction of accuracy and authenticity which are both necessary and appreciated by her collectors,” says Robert Abbett about Carlson’s work.

After seven one-woman shows in Charleston, South Carolina, Beth went on to exhibit at the prestigious worldwide invitational Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, in Charleston, South Carolina on multiple occasions. Many of her paintings grace the covers of international and national magazine publications.  Two of her portraits reside in the National Bird Dog Museum in Grand Junction, Tennessee.  In addition, three portraits are bequeathed to the prestigious Museum of the Dog in St. Louis, Missouri.

Recently, Beth has been branching out, painting the landscape which surrounds her West Bath, Maine farm, along with the dwindling northeastern landscape that she loves so much. Many of her landscape paintings have been inspired when riding her horses or hiking with her dogs.

Available paintings may be seen at Beth’s gallery @ 612 Fosters Point Rd., West Bath, Maine 04530.

FAQs: 

How does the commission process work?  I work from your photographs or mine.  I have painted animals from all over the world.  I will work with you to obtain better photos if necessary.  Once we agree to a composition, size and price, I request a 50% deposit.  Once I complete the portrait, I will send you an image for your approval and have you send me the balance, and then I’ll ship it out.  I’m proud to say, I’ve had a 100% success rate with pleased customers, in my 25 yrs in business, with many repeat customers.

How much does a portrait cost?  It depends on the size and complexity of the painting.   If you call me @ (207)751-5288 I’d be happy to give you a guesstimate.  I would need to see a few photos in order to quote you an exact price.  Prices do start at $400.00.

How long will it take to paint a portrait of my dog?  Once again, it will depend on the size and complexity and how much work I have prior to you contacting me.  Heads up! My busiest time is in the fall.

If you have questions or want a quote, feel free to give me a buzz @ (207)751-5288, email @ [email protected] or stop by my studio @ 612 Fosters Pt. Rd., West Bath, Me. 04530
