Hi Melanie,

The final result is brilliant. Please go ahead as it is as there is nothing I would want to change - it's just perfect! Can't wait to give it to mum and see her reaction - I know we are going to be keeping the tissues flowing!! Will let you know how things go after we give mum the portrait and will arrange for a photo to be taken once it is framed - would be lovely to see it on your website.

Many thanks, best wishes

Hi Melanie

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU sooooo much for all that you have done!! You have made my mum so happy with the portrait and she was really surprised!! She left a message on your website at about 1am on the Saturday - was a pretty late night with all the celebrating! We all (including everyone at work and all I've emailed!) love the portrait and think it is a brilliant and special talent you have.

We arranged for the frame to be done on Monday and as soon as it is complete we will send you a picture - we hope to download the photos we took of the present giving soon, and will email them to you as well.

Thanks again and will be in touch very soon!

best wishes

Dear Melanie

Thank you so much for my beautiful 60th birthday present. The painting of my best friend Charlie is the best present I have ever had and will treasure forever. He gives so much love to so many people as a Pets As Therapy dog (PAT dog) and you have captured the kindness in his eyes perfectly.

So many thanks Kay x
