About the art: (Your pet can be added to the prints! Keep reading for instructions.)
"Saying Goodbye (The Rainbow Bridge)" was painted by Dakota Daetwiler in 2024.
This painting is embodies the feelings and emotions we have when grieving the loss of a pet. The painting features: a german shepherd, a bearded dragon, a bunny, a turtle, a mccaw bird, a horse and a golden retriever. This piece makes a great gift for someone who is going through the hard process of letting go of their beloved family pet. Your animal can be added in the sky next to the sun in the prints. It will be transparent, similar to the horse and dog made of clouds in the sky.
(One addition per order) There is no extra fee for this, I just take your photo and edit it in photoshop and tastefully/artistically add it to the print before making your order.
To do this, simply order with the option "Add my pet to the sky" selected, and then after you check out you can email me the photo. ( info@PaintingsByDakota.com )
**Please note, that this is the only place I can make an addition, the girl or the dog in the front as well as the other animals can not be changed or subtracted.
 
These are high quality prints of her original painting (copies) Not an original painting.

Traditional Canvas Print (Signed)
High quality inks and materials, these are the most popular. Canvas prints are hand stretched over wood by Dakota and look the most like traditional art. These take approximately 5-8 days to create, plus shipping time. These usually arrive at your door in about 2 weeks. Canvas prints come hand signed by Dakota with a card that has the name of the artwork and the date your canvas was created.
These will retain value the best out of any print options of her work.
 
Flat Photo Print (Signed)
Printed on high quality thick photo paper, these come hand signed by Dakota and ship the fastest. They will need to be framed before hanging as they are a flat rolled print. They are the most affordable option.
 
Dakota makes both of these prints in house, these are not made by some big box retailer. She makes sure each one is hand crafted with care, from the making of the wood frame (for canvas), stretching, stapling, signing... all done by her! The photo and canvas prints are made in her house on her 44" commercial giclee printer with high quality pigment, museum grade archival inks. She takes the time to make sure you will get the highest quality print possible.
