Hi Lorraine
What can I say..... Wow, Dusty's portrait is absolutely amazing and its so striking - just like him. Love his beard and the way you captured his ears - he always (apart from when asleep) has them upright as he's so nosy to what's going on around him. I can't wait to have the portrait to add to the others that you've already done. His "spot" is ready and waiting for him. ......Liz from Aberdeen Scotland |

Golden Retriever Puppy Bruar |
 |
This is the second painting I have done for this client, the first one was beloved Teal who is at the top of this gallery.
Customer comments..........
Lorraine, last year I unwrapped the portrait of Teal with great trepidation followed by some sadness but, ultimately, total joy at the result. This year was so different. I unwrapped the portrait of Bruar with some trepidation, no sadness, and just joy at seeing him as he was when he came to me as a puppy. You captured the essence of Bruar's personality when he was so very tiny! He is growing into an adult dog who definately knows his own mind - just as your portrait of him as a puppy suggests he would. Thank you so much. Malcolm.

Megan |
 |
20" x 16" pastels on velour
Customer comments.......
Dear Lorraine
It is fantastic. I picked you to do Meg's painting because I really liked what I'd seen on your website but I didn't really expect Meg's to turn out like it has. I was really disappointed with the photos I'd taken because I couldn't seem to capture her just right and with her being black I thought she would be difficult to paint. So imagine how overwhelmed with emotion I felt when I saw how beautifully you have captured the Meg factor. Meg is my most loyal and constant friend and you have captured the gentleness in her eyes perfectly.
Thank you so much. |

Painting size 16" x 14"
Customer comments.....
The portrait arrived safe & well on Tuesday morning...it's wonderful, so like Barney that I had to shed a little tear. You've captured his expression perfectly and it will always be a treasured reminder of my very favourite dog. I've already told several of my 'Flattie' friends to have a look at him on your web site and I'm now going to try to take some good photos of the rest of the 'little darlings' (3) and start saving up for the next one. Thank you so much once again

Customer comments........
Hi Lorraine,
Thankyou for my pastal painting of sam. It was delivered yesterday.
It made me a bit nervous when it arrived but then it brought a big lump to my throat when I opened the parcel. The painting is fantastic, you have captured sam in the best way possible at his best right down to little white spot on his bottom left eyelid. It made myself and my partner wish we could once again stroke his head and hug him especially me as I had had sam for nearly 15 years and I still miss him so much.
You have done us proud with the painting and it is one we will treasure for many years to come. The painting is now hanging at home above Sams ashes were it truely belongs.
Your arkwork is a credit to you and we would like to thankyou from deep down for what you have done.

Customer comments upon receipt.........
Hello Lorraine,
We just wanted you to know that we are absolutely delighted with the portrait of Bracken and Archie. You have definitely captured Archie’s serene and aristocratic bearing and Bracken’s “I want that biscuit” expression! We have a retired friend who walks Bracken regularly and he commented that you could almost reach out and touch Bracken, he looks so real. We have seen pet portraits in the past in which the pets looked nice but could have been anybody’s but in your portrait we have definitely and highly recognizably got our own much loved pets.
