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!!!!

Dear Sue  

Back in October last year I knew my time with my beautiful German Shepherd Jessie was coming to an end.  I didn’t know when but I knew I must start my search for the person who could capture her essence forever on canvas.  A search of the entire world using the web provided an enormous amount of choice.  The location of the artist I was planning to choose was only a minor consideration.  I needed to know the person I chose had the gift I knew I needed them to have.   You were the one I chose.   

At the end of December the time had come for me to say good bye to Jessie and it was dreadfully heartbreaking.  I had your details and wrote to you soon after.   You responded immediately and I was impressed by your compassion and professionalism.  

You worked with me to ensure I was happy every step of the way.  From the initial photos to your first sketch, I knew I could trust you and I really did appreciate the way you stayed in touch with me.  I think I was still very much in the initial stages of grieving and somehow you knew that and your sensitivity was incredibly helpful to me throughout the entire process.  

But 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, 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.  

Kindest regards always

" Well I certainly received a wonderful suprise when I came home last night. I am just overjoyed with the gorgeous painting. The likeness to Logan and the attention to detail is fantastic. You have captured him so beautifully. I found myself walking into the room just to stand and gaze at him in the painting. I am so happy with the painting that a little later in the year I would like to discuss having another painting done of Samson & Bogart our dearest friends who passed away a little over a year ago.

Once again thank you very much for such a beautiful painting I would only be too pleased to recommend you to anyone interested in commissioning any artwork from you . 

The painting and frame are gorgeous!"

  "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."
