" She won't receive a gift like this from anyone else!"

Julie

"Thankyou for a most beautiful painting , it is so lifelike and truly captures the characters of both dogs.

Unfortunately we lost Missey just before Christmas and when I gave Harry the painting for Christmas he was overcome with emotion. He absolutely loved it and it is now in  the dining room where we can see it  throughout the day. Whenever we look at it it brings back beautiful  memories of the life Harry & Missey  had together and the joy that  Missey brought into our lives.

Once again thank you so much for a beautiful painting. We will cherish it forever."

My painting's can bring your pet to life much better than any photograph.

 

 Although I work from photos , as an artist I can selectively enhance , play down or remove areas to come up with a painting that really captures them for a lifetime of treasured memories. 

For a gift that noone else can match, a painting of a  pet is a unique gift that will touch the hearts of all  involved.

Each painting is a unique and passionate creation and  much  time is taken  to ensure it captures not only a likeness but also the essence of your pet. 

If you have ever taken a photo of a few pets you will know that it's  practically impossible to take a group photo of animals and have every one looking it's best. As an artist , with suitable photos , I can  choose the best poses of each animal and then combine these photos into a  flattering  group painting. 

Please enjoy seeing samples of my previous work and if you would like to capture a lifetime of precious memories in a painting I look forward to hearing from you.

Jessie

42 x 60cms 

Oil 

" Nothing, absolutely nothing could have prepared me for the moment I opened up the 

canvas and saw your painting of Jessie.  It was as if she had been there in the flesh 

with you and you had known her always.  Incredibly your painting is almost three 

dimensional and you have truly captured Jessie on canvas, forever.  I am in awe of the 

way you have managed to capture her eyes and her personality. 

  Everyone has said the same.  I am now in possession of the most precious item 

in the world to me. 

I have the most beautiful portrait of my beloved Jessie who has gone , 

painted by a truly remarkable Australian artist, Sue Linton.  

I am incredibly grateful to you Sue.   You have the rarest of gifts in being able to

 reflect the truth through your art and I could have never made a better decision 

than the day I chose you.  Thank you. "

Leigh 

I have framed her and my  most prized possession is hung in the hallway,

 between my office and my bedroom.  Jessie slept in the office and 

was constantly watching the front door.  She is right there now. 

 I miss her terribly but the painting is an incredible comfort.  

My partner swears she is three dimensional.  

Can't wait to show you the pictures.
