I cannot describe the happiness we get every time we look at the portrait of our "babies" - it captures their personalities so well and will be a wonderful piece of art in our home for the rest of our lives, reminding us of the terrible trio!

 Dear Julia
What can I say that has not already been said by your other satisfied customers?
Your painting is the most beautiful thing I've seen. Thank you. I can't stop looking at it, she looks so beautiful. The background colour is exactly right.... And I bet my son will want his dog, Loki painted!
I guess a heartfelt thank you for such a beautiful pastel of Sally. I am so pleased I found you on the internet and took the plunge to have Sally perpetuated.
Thank you,

 Hi Julia
The portrait is awesome! I can tell which dog is Tia and which is Cassie straight away. It really looks like them. It arrived safely here and my sister says it really looks like Ripple. Mum will be so surprised to get this for her birthday! Thanks!

 Hi Julia
We recieved the portrait today, it is fantastic. That is so gorgeous, you have really captured her!! Thank you so much! Great idea to keep it flat, we thought you may have rolled it up. Now we have plenty of time to have it framed.
Thanks again,

 Oh Julia!
Thank you! I almost cried when I saw that final draft. Greta is sooooooo Greta...you have captured our "Grand Old Duchess". People that I have shown the photo to are totally drawn to Freya's eyes. When a friend described Freya she described her as a Malamute with a "huge marshmellowy heart" and you have sure captured that in her eyes. People are totally entranced by her. And Loki is just stunningly represented as our 'little man'. Thank you. I'll pop a photo of the picture on the forum board and my website with links to you - I'm sure when my friends see the portrait they will be considering having their darlings done

 Hi Julia
We are all absolutely thrilled with the portrait. My older brother (a man of few words) said it is 'absolutely sick' so there is top approval! I cant thank you enough for all your hard work and for making something so special I'm sure my mum will adore.

 Hey Julia
It looks fantastic! Kate and Iain loved the picture and they don't think that any changes need to be made at all. We are going to get it framed shortly and take it up to them. Thank you once again, I think it is a beautiful gift to give to someone and I have passed on your webpage to a few people at work who are interested in getting a portrait done. We have a 15 month old golden retriever and we will definitely be getting a portrait of her done soon!!!
Thank you once again,
Kind regards

I just love the portrait, it looks more like him [the horse] than in the original photo! James was so surprised and touched with the portrait. We will frame his saddle blanket from the Caulfield Cup and hang it next to the portrait. I'm sure many of his jockey friends will want portraits too!. Thanks again.

 Hi Julia!
Thanks so much for the painting. The painting is already up in a great place! It's by the stairs and Michelle points at it every time we go up or down, so you see it´s a really good painting (not only for us)
when a 15 month old girl recognises her dog, points and says Tai! (That´s her way she says Tiny)
Take Care & once again THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you´re great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Hi Julia
Mum loved the drawing of the girls and said it was just perfect and looked exactly like them!!! We took it up to the frame shop and are getting it really nicely framed with a mount and everything so it should
look very nice hanging up on our wall somewhere. Thanks again for doing the portrait of the girls. I'll keep in contact as we might
get a pastel or something done of our cats later on. Thanks

It has been a pleasure to deal with such a talented artist and I really appreciate the exceptional customer service too. Thank you for helping me give my sister the perfect gift for her special birthday.
