Pet Portraits by Melanie

Hello Melanie,

Dear Melanie,

I feel you have captured the true likeness of both Cari and Bobbas and think they are better than the many, many photographs I have taken of them. Thanks again,

Melanie,�
Please accept my sincere thanks for a truly fantastic portrait.  My family were astounded at how well you have captured Feebee's look and colouring a true 'work of art' in every sense. The portrait will be framed and a copy of the original photograph as well as copies of your stages of painting it�( I have downloaded them from your website, I hope you have no objection, please let me know if that is breach of copyright or something) and Feebee's pedigree etc included behind so that future generations will know its significance and history, as it will no doubt be a family heirloom and part of family history.�Thanks again and very best wishes, Ron

Hi Melanie,
Wow!!Wallis (actually a girl, but she was so big a powerful that it is easy to be fooled) looks absolutely wonderful! The picture captures her extremely well, and "dark" you were worried about is exactly her colouring. Jet Black, and a lustrous sheen to her coat!The bit that is so impressive is the way you have captured her eyes. She had this absolutely piercing stare, which scared the daylights out of people who didn't know how gentle she really was. Anne is going to be absolutely delighted with your wonderful rendition of her "little" girl, thank you so much!�Once again, thanks so much for such a wonderful portrait of our regal lady.
Best regards, Ken.

Anne wrote to me after Christmas and this is a snippet from her letter she sent I must tell you what happened when the portrait went on the wall. When Toby our RSPCA rescue boxer who shared Wallis last year with us they were best buddies – caught sight of it, he went into hyper-alert mode, jumped up and walked over to it. He then stood for what seemed like a long time just staring at the portrait and talking to it low growls and little barks. They say dogs do not see photographs and tv screens – I now know that they do! Other things have gone on the wall that he has not shown the slightest interest in, but this was his friend and he most definitely recognises her.Anne

Hi Mel,What can I say................it is absolutely perfect in every way, you have certainly managed to capture the true characters of each and every one of our dogs, the picture just defies belief, you are truly a very talented person and I am so glad that I 'found' you - this will be the best present ever and one which I will never be able to match in the future.Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart,�its wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait now to see it for real.
