" You capture more life ( in your paintings) than a photo ever could." Vanessa
'I
received the painting yesterday it is beautiful it looks exactly like him.
When I gave it to mum my she was so happy and could not believe how good it had
turned out .It's really just like a mirror image of Banjo. I just want to thank
you for the wonderful job you have done it has been the best gift I have ever
given any one'
'... I've been meaning to write to you anyway to say that my older dog Tasha is getting pretty old. She's blind, deaf, senile. She has a good appetite and so far her hips are holding out. But the reason I was going to write to you was to say that now that she's no longer the dog I knew, having the painting of her that you did of a couple years ago reminds me of the way she was. People might say that photos can do the same thing, but I think your painting really captured the essence of her that a photo doesn't.' Marybeth

Each of my portraits paintings are a unique custom artwork of your dog ,cat, or horse, hand drawn and painted in a realistic style. My paintings skillfully enhance the character of your pet and greatly improve on a photograph.
When I paint I aim to do more than just reproduce a likeness from the photo. Your portrait will look like YOUR horse , pet or loved one but I want it to be alive colourful and look three dimensional.
My paintings are much more impressive than a photo. When you look at your pet etc you have an emotional connection - you notice their soulful eyes, mouth or ears and the unimportant ( to you ) areas aren't noticed. You don't take in every detail or hair. Have you ever taken photos of your pet and been disappointed but not known why? Generally when you take a photo every part of your pet, every hair and even the background has the same emphasis ...the important thing , the emotional connection, gets lost in the detail. The image is generally very two dimensional and if you have a black or white dog you know how hard it is to get a decent photo of them- they either come out a white or black blob!
In my paintings I can once again make the expression , the eyes , nose ears or gestures foremost and downplay the rest. By subtle methods I also make the animal three dimensional and put any background where it belongs ..in the background , not centre stage! When you look at your portrait you will once again feel that emotional connection but now it is captured for a lifetime of enjoyment.
Commission a portrait & give a gift unlike any other.
I guarantee you will love your painting or you don't have to pay .

What my customers have said -

" Julie was beside herself with your amazing picture she was crying her eyes out. Everyone was really excited over it." Linda Your Portraits have given us long lasting memories of our cherished ‘ family members’. Your
lead up work was very professional and personal. The attention to detail
was certainly evident in the final paintings and it is an
absolute credit to you with the way the paintings exhibit ‘life’. You capture more life than a photo ever could. You asked me how you could improve your service. How do you improve on perfection!!!! Vanessa |

' Oscar' 40 x 50 cms "
Thank
you Sue, so much for my beautiful painting, it means more to me that I can
put into words.
Even though you never actually met Oscar you have still managed to
capture his personality.
To quote my friend Kym, who came with me to collect the painting,
“You haven’t just painted a picture of a pet Australian Blue Cattle Dog,
you’ve painted Oscar’. Natalie
