Pure genius, talent such as that possessed by Nick and yourself should treasured.
Chester and Minnie have been captured in a way that we could only have hoped for but perhaps never really expected. I wish that you both knew our dogs because only then could you really appreciate how accurately they have been portrayed .I could go on and on but it's easier to simply say 'we're delighted'. I shall be recommending you both to just about everyone with an animal. Perhaps somewhat oddly, I will continue to read your blog even though the pictures are finished. I'd really miss it I'd I didn't.

Portraits In Progress >>
Clients really enjoy watching their pet portraits develop on our portraits in progress blog which we update every week day. All of the portraits commissioned are shown on our portraits in progress blog and clients are able to watch their portrait develop there as soon as we start to paint.
Cleints are excited at watching their pet come to life as all of our portraits are hand-painted or drawn. Clients comment on the blog quite often and we love to read feedback from them. A recent comment from a lady who commissioned her 5 cats in oils wrote -
Dear Melanie & Nick, Just to let you know…..I cannot stop looking. I am meant to be checking out “housey things” but can I stop looking?…NO….I think, so far, perfection sums it up…Many thanks Louise. xx

You and Nick have been a pleasure to work with. Your talent is amazing and you have been so accommodating to us.
I would say that you have excellent customer service but that sounds odd...like I was talking about Sears and that's not what I mean. You have been kind, thoughtful, and caring. Always ready to answer questions and make changes. I really tell everyone that you two are the very best at what you do. It is not easy to deal with people and you do it effortlessly. I also appreciate your phone calls. What a personal touch! Thank you so much, Nick and Melanie
