Live from Kathmandu: Finals from Sagar
November 26, 2017
Sagar Bitsa's finals are in! 9 lovely portraits of dogs, a cat and Saint Roch.
Sport cavorts in her forest setting with a ring of daisies as a garland in her final portrait by Sagar Bitsa
Gotham the Great is hand painted on metal by Sagar. Nepali Beware of Dog signs often feature a prominent tongue. All three artists had fun with Gotham's gums and wild hair.
Nilly is dressed to the nines in her third and final portrait by Sagar.
In Sagar's portrait, Chester and Cooper, a Foxhound and a Beagle, are safe under the watchful eye of St. Roch, the patron saint of dogs.
Simon may not notice, but his name is misspelled! But he looks contented and loved in his final portrait by Sagar.
Callie the Labradoodle is another example of a traditional Danger Dog with her large and lovely tongue.
Henry the Boxer in a psychedelic swirl, by Sagar.
Flint the Delicate Flower Mastiff, hand painted on metal by Sagar.
Tattoo the German Shepherd in his field of green by Sagar.
These are examples of what you can expect when you order a personalized portrait of your pet.
You can fully customize what you would like it to say, coloring in the background, style of painting (folk art or realistic) and, of course, all pets are welcome. I have had everything from desert turtles to conyers to ferrets ordered. Each commission gets a choice of 3 portraits by different artists.
I am currently in Nepal near the end of my trip and orders are closed. However, I will be returning to Nepal in February to order more, so do not hesitate to be among the first orders for 2018.
Satisfaction is guaranteed as I accept no money up front. If you do not like one of the three, you pay nothing, and the 3 artists are paid in full in any case. Let me know what you want it to say and that's it!

Now is the time to order: Be ahead of the Pack!
I will be back in Nepal ordering Beware of Dog portraits in mid-February, 2018, returning in early May with your paintings.
How to order your custom pet portrait from NepalDog.com
- Please send me a photo of your pet. I will give it to three different artists, giving you a choice of 3 paintings and three people will get work. Each painting is about one square foot and is on metal with synthetic enamel paint. These can be hung indoors or out.
2. Let me know what you would like it to say.
3. Let me know what style of portrait you would prefer: naive, realistic, colorful, etc.
4. Tell me your pet's name and breed.
5. Send your photo to me at: ampage1@gmail.com
That's it !

The cost is $250 plus shipping. Shipping is around $20 per sign (to and from the US). And 9.75% California sales tax for California residents.
Pay after choosing your portrait.
Multiple pets on one sign cost more ($325 for Double, $400 for Triple).
Let's keep these artists painting.
This hand-painted art form is fast disappearing in Kathmandu, as it already has in most parts of the world. I pay fair trade wages, the artists get to paint again, pet lovers get a choice of three paintings for each commission, and I get to help Nepali artists make a living. Everybody is happy. Rescue dogs from America get to rescue artists from Nepal!
