Lorraine,
I just got the portrait and have given it to Erin.I had anticipated it to be excellent, but found it to be completely breathtaking. You've captured her happieness and personality perfectly. Erin was practically moved to tears. Stetson, of course had no clue what was going on, but seemed happy that her mommy was excited. Erin was thrilled to have something that captures Stetson so well. She said it immortalizes Stetson and that she will hang her above her mantle for ever and ever. And if she has no mantle, then it will hang on the focal point of her living room. Needless to say, she's ecstatic, as am I. It made the perfect birthday/graduation present for my best friend. Thank you for making it possible. I can't wait to have one done of Misty!

Hi Lorraine,
That’s fantastic! It’s soooooo good! Well done! Sonia is going to love it!!!
Comments upon receipt from Sonia.....
Thank you for what is the most lifelike image of my dog I could have hoped for.
I think you have done what the photograph itself doesn't do - there is a light in his eye, a sort of far-off look that makes you wonder what he is thinking of (but you have an inkling that it is mischief of some kind!)
He is hung in pride of place on the wall in our lounge, where I have the choice of looking up to see him, or glancing down at my feet where the genuine article lies. I really can't thank you enough for such a beautiful picture.

Very pleased to say the painting arrived safely this morning. Brenda says it is absolutely gorgeous and has pride of place above the mantelpiece in the lounge. She says you have captured Jock perfectly – she and husband Geoff feel that he is looking at them from the picture frame! She also mentioned how beautifully and carefully packed it was and that she doesn’t know how you have managed to show the detail down to individual strands of fur. I think you can be absolutely sure that this has been fantastically well received – they are both truly delighted. Well done!!
