Bombay Portraits: Your Bombay, Hand-Painted in Oil

For anyone who has loved a Bombay, that bond is its own kind of family. A hand-painted oil portrait honors it the way a phone photo never can — capturing not just how your Bombay looks, but the personality you know by heart.

Capturing a Bombay in oil

A great Bombay portrait is about character, not just markings. A skilled artist brings out the sleek jet-black panther-like coat and those striking, round, copper-gold eyes — the details that make your cat unmistakably yours. The background is softened so your companion becomes the dignified focus of a real piece of art, hand-painted in oils on canvas.

Choosing the right photo of your Bombay

A Bombay's black coat and glowing copper eyes need good light to read — choose a bright, clear photo. Beyond that: get down to their level, keep the focus sharp on the face and eyes, and use soft natural light rather than flash. (More in how to photograph your pet.)
