Pet Portraits by Melanie

Melaine, I have just received my portrait and i am over the moon with it. Its absolutely fantastic and looks so much like Tess. Thanks again for everything, you were fantastic and fully accomodating. I will be in touch in the future when i decide to get a portait of Indie.
Take care and thanks again Cheryl xx

Hi Mel
I have now got the frame for Tess's portrait and have attached a couple of photographs of it for you. I would love it if you used one in your gallery for others to see. Its gorgeous i am so pleased with it. I keep getting it out to look at it but everytime i do i get upset - nice upset though!
Thanks again for everything.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas.
Take care

Hello! How was your Christmas? Hope it was great...Well it's been 38 degrees for the last couple of days and the dogs are going stir crazy since they have been kept inside in the cool. We're all going to the beach tomorrow so I can tire them out! I'm not sure whether Ted has emailed you yet, I asked him to drop you a line with some photo's of the portrait up on the wall and he has a better camera than me :-P But I have attached some that I took before I wrapped it.Well he and Kate were totally stunned & speechless with it and had no idea, which was great, he hung it up straight away (which means he reeeeaallly likes it) in the main part of the house so I can see it every time I go up there :-)))Everyone who's seen it has loved it.I printed out the almost finished scan and went with my best friend to play around with matt colours and frames before it got here, so the matt colours are oyster and a reddish brown, the frame is a very dark brown with red tones to it, even the chick at the framing place commented on how gorgeous it looked. Let me know if he emails you, I'd love to know what he says about it...he's still a bit coy with me about it, and thinks himself undeserving of such a spectacular present.
Thanks so much, it's just brilliant!
Mel.

Hello Melanie:
We had the painting professionaly framed, I hope we have done justice to your marvelous work.  My little girls are gone from our physical presence but because of your attention to perfect detail they will live on in our hearts forever.Thank you so much.  I spend most of my time in the den, and wanted to have them close, so we didnt hang it over the fireplace.

Hi Mel, Its great Freckle especially is just to a 'T' you have totally caught her confused look! Thanks you are a true star. Kate x

Hi Mel, I thought it was about time I let you have a photo of the portrait in its frame.It looks stunning, don't you think? Everyone who comes round comments on it and I have showed the pictures on your website to several people at work. Conrad was over the moon with it, it is so realistic you want to stroke the picture to see if it feels like them! Thanks again - ever so much. Only the cats and horses left to go now! Speak to you soon, take care and have a lovely summer. Kate x

Hi Melanie - I don't know if you remember me, but you did a portrait of my three goldens about 2 years ago. I just wanted to let you know how much I love your website. Even though I'm not in the market for a portrait at present, I still visit your website to see all the gorgeous paintings that you've been working on and to see the 'work in progress'.

I finally borrowed the digital camera from work to take a picture of the painting you did for me all framed. It is so beautiful. Of course the photo doesn't do it justice - it is much better in person. The frame has kind of a burly finish which really doesn't show up on the photo. I show this painting off to anyone who will look! I love it.Your work is outstanding and I've recommended you to many people. Thanks again for such a beautiful painting - it gives me so much pleasure every day. Keep up the good work.

Take care - Mary (Mary Latessa Rehoboth, Massachusetts USA) P.S. I saw the new photos of your studio - very, very nice
