Welcome to my Happy Customers Pages. When I started painting pets about 10 years ago I would never have dreamt that I would receive so many wonderful letters of heart felt thanks. It often reduces me to tears when I read them, they are so personal that half of them i am unable to reproduce in full on these pages as i often feel it wouldn't be right somehow. When a client has sadly lost their pet, the emotions they release when they see their beloved animal immortalized on canvas always comes across their their letters. One particular client I remember working for said that he was a big hefty 6 foot man, hard as nails rugby player, yet he cried like a baby when he received the portrait i did for him after he lost his beloved dog. Its a great release and I think a wonderful part of the healing process. "Its almost like having them back in the room again" some clients have told me. I have even had visitors look at my site, not even planning on purchasing a portrait and email to say how wonderful the letters are and how they found themselves glued to these pages with tears rolling down their cheeks. So I hope you enjoy these pages, I hope that some of the stories don't pull at your hear strings too much and if you would like your pet immortalized on canvas, just email me at any time. |

| Hi Mel - A few comments from us: Thank you so much for the beautiful painting of 'Jay'. It really is so sweet and pretty like she was, it makes us smile everytime we look at it and break our hearts at the same time, you have captured her gentle and loving nature perfectly. Her eyes are so bright and lifelike, and her ears are soft and floaty, and she has just the cutest nose possible! She looks stunning like Jay always looked, and the depth and richness of colour is perfect... We will always treasure our beautiful Jay, and the painting will be with us forever, like Jay is in our hearts. Our gorgeous precious girl we love now and always, captured in your beautiful painting. Thank you again, your patience and time has paid off and we have a very special painting to look deep into for the rest of our lives. Now we just have to find the right frame to compliment the painting! Will send you a picture when it is framed and hung on the wall. Love Jill and Jonathan xx |

| A few comments for the drawing: When we had seen what the oil painting of our precious Jay was like, we had to capture her in another pose, so we decided to go for a coloured pencil drawing. She looks so beautiful and gorgeous it is like she is actually oozing out of the drawing! It is so soft and gentle showing that she was and always will be one in a million to us, our best and most loving friend Jay. Thank you so much. Jay would of liked you. Love Jill and Jonathan xx |

| Dear Melanie I received my painting of Fel today! I was sooooo excited to see it! It is even more beautiful in person. I will always have her in my heart, but now I can see her everyday also! Thank you for that! I will take a picture and email you when I have it framed. I am going to enjoy it for a week before I take it to the frame shop! I will be in touch, thanks again.

Hi Melanie
I looked at the picture last night and she is perfect. I am going to get her framed at the weekend. Thank you so much. You have given me my Molly for ever. I have heartily recommended you to my friends who have cats and they love your work too. Thank you again for my wonderful picture. Kind regards Jo |

| Hi Melanie!
I just wanted to let you know that i received the portrait of Fred a 2 days ago. I love it, and my mom will be so happy when she sees it.My Mother-in-law also received hers, and also loves it - she even took it to get professionally framed! Your work is so beautiful and you really seemed to capture Freds personality in his eyes, thank you so much. I'm sure you will be hearing from me within the next couple of months, as I am thinking about having my own dogs portrait done. She's a Siberian Husky. Thank you again for the beautiful paintings!

| Hi Melanie, Just thought I would let you know that I've received the portrait!! It is awesome. It's so awesome in fact that one of my other dogs Tulsa, saw the portrait up against the wall and growled at it, like it was real!!! So not only do I think you totally captured Ally, but so do other dogs! Ally & I just love it! I will be sure to send you a picture once it's framed and I look forward to order more portraits in the future!! Shalah & Ally Instance |
