What My Recipients Say...

"Thank you for your superb portrait of Molly and Bandit that Rebecca has given me as a present. It was a complete surprise; I’d absolutely no idea she was colluding with you or why she was editing her pictures of the dogs so assiduously. You’ve caught not only their likeness, but also so cleverly their characters. With best wishes"

— Martin Plummeridge
