Words can't describe how pleased Debbie and I are with the oil portrait of our Vizsla dog, Mita. You have captured her likeness and, more importantly, her spirit absolutely perfectly. Her picture will hang in a prominent area of our living room so we (and Mita) can enjoy it. I will be sure to recommend your talents to our pet-owning friends. The portrait and our photographs arrived today in perfect condition due in no small part to your skilful packaging. Not only were we totally pleased with the portrait, but your price was also extremely reasonable. Thanks again very much! Charles and Debbie .... San Antonio Texas, USA |

The portrait will not only be enjoyed by husband but myself as well, you have done an excellent job and it will bring us both pleasure when we look at it in the years to come. ((THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH) Regards Jennifer W.... Bury, Lancashire, England |

Thank you for completing the painting of Lucy, our Springer spaniel which I received on Tuesday. I think it's wonderful and I am sure my partner will too. You have certainly been able to capture Lucy's character in the painting. I can hardly wait until Christmas to give it to him, and I am arranging to have it framed this weekend. Please find enclosed a cheque for £ ........ which is the balance owing for the painting and once again thank you so much for your lovely work. Miss Alison ........ Bristol, England |
Just a short note to say thank you for Cagney. She is missed desperately but now I feel that she is constantly around. Please find enclosed my cheque for the balance of £ ................ and once again thank you. Mary S...... Grays, Essex, England |

Thank you so much for the picture of Oliver and Emma. I can not tell you how thrilled Louise was with it. She said you captured Emma's facial expression perfectly. Louise said she phoned you so I guess you know anyway. I am just waiting for a good picture of my three and I shall have an oil done of them. Louise also said she is thinking of having a head study done of Rupert, she thought it was that good. Thanks again. Barry Br.......... Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, England |
Many thanks for the beautiful painting of 'Tom' which you have so splendidly created. I didn't know what to expect when I opened the parcel and was I have to say, truly impressed. I know my parents will be overjoyed with it and will take great pleasure in hanging it in their home back on Guernsey. Again thank you for your prompt and professional approach. N........ Holmeschapel, England |

Thankyou again for the lovely portrait of Kizzy. Me and my partner are overwhelmed with it. She meant so much to us and when we lost her in Feb 2001 our lives were empty. The portrait hangs on our lounge in full view and gives us great pleasure every day, our friends and family too. Once again, thank you for giving us a little of her back, we shall treasure it always. Carol, Michael ........... Beeston, Nottinghamshire |
Many thanks for such a wonderful painting. It brings back such happy memories the more I look at it. Keep up the good work. Michael Mc..... Penicuik, Scotland |

The portrait of 'Ace' you painted for us arrived today. I would like to say how delighted I am with it. I couldn't wait till Christmas to show my wife the painting and she is also over the moon with the portrait. Glenn ....... Enfield, Middlesex, England |
Thank you very much for your painting of Ben. You've managed to capture his look perfectly. I was so impressed by it I gave my partner his birthday present two weeks early as I wanted to tell everyone about your painting. Janet .. Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, England |

Thank you for the lovely painting. My husband was thrilled to receive such a wonderful birthday present. Many thanks for getting it here on time. The painting is already receiving lots of admiring comments from friends and family and I shall certainly pass on your details to anyone wanting an animal portrait. Kevin & Sharron ....... East Yorkshire, England |

The painting arrived safely this morning and I was really shocked that it turned up so quickly. I didn't expect to see it until about April. I was really pleased with the portrait of "Jack". You really captured his personality, as I knew you would. I haven't yet shown the portrait to Graham because I thought it would be a nice Valentine gift. However, I'm sure he will love it. My work colleague's thought it was superb and your details have been passed on. Thank you ever so much, for once again supplying such a lovely portrait. Liza ........ Newbridge, Gwent, Wales |
Hi Isabel, Just like to say I've received the painting. It is perfect. You have done a brilliant job, thank you.

Thank you so much for the portrait of "Poppy". We were very pleased with it & I'm sure my mother-in-law will be delighted with the surprise when we give it to her on her 80th birthday - it's to be from her grandsons.
Pat .......... Shepperton, Middlesex, England |
Our sincere thanks to you for a lovely portrait of Sarah, we naturally shed a few tears when we opened the package, but tears are temporary and memories are long and thanks to you we will always have beautiful memories. To ease some of our grief we have purchased a Blue Roan Cocker Spaniel whose name is "Blue," and at this point in time he is lying across my feet asleep and like most puppies seems to have taken over. Blessings and Love to you for your wonderful skills. Roy & Jean .... Sheffield, England |

"The essence of all art is to
have pleasure in giving pleasure"
Paintings of special dogs, cats, in fact any pet animal, wildlife or landscape paintings such as your own home and greeting cards from your favourite photos in oils or watercolours are such unique and special gifts.
All I need from you is a CLEAR photo of your pet dog, cat, or any other pet, person or place, to create that unique and special portrait painting.
If you do not have any clear, close up photos of your pet, take some NOW. If your pet has sadly died and it is too late to take any clear photos I will willingly look at your photo and let you know if it is clear enough.
I love my pet portrait work, but one of the saddest aspects is where an old pet has died and the owner has no clear photo to remember their friend by, or, indeed, to create a pet portrait memorial to their lost one. So take those pictures now, even if you do not yet decide on a painting of your pet.
The happiest aspect of my work is when my client has received their pet portrait and telephone or write to let me know how delighted they are in spite of the tears over their lost friend. Dog paintings, cat paintings and animal paintings make such special and lasting gifts and such loving memorials to lost friends.
I know how it feels to lose a beloved pet. Over the last 30 years I have lost some good pet friends and each loss is as acute as the last. All our pets are unique little characters who cannot be replaced. We can, however, hold their memories in our hearts. We find that once again we can open the photo albums and recall the happy times with our pets. Over the years in which I have been painting pets professionally I have found pet portraits can bring great comfort to those who have lost their dogs, cats, or other pets.
I have so many lovely letters from my clients telling me how the portrait of their pet is now taking pride of place in their home, and how they feel their pet's spirit is still with them whenever they gaze at the painting. I think this is the loveliest part of my work, although inevitably tinged with sadness.
So order your dog painting, cat painting or animal painting now for that lasting tribute. Whether it is a dog painting, cat painting, animal painting, landscape painting or greeting cards, when they are created from photos of your beloved pets you will have unique and loving mementos of your special friend. All my pet portraits and landscape paintings are executed in oils on canvas or watercolours. I paint all pets and all pets are welcome, whether they be rabbits, mice, guinea-pigs, hamsters, horses, ponies, dogs, cats or birds of all kinds.
Many times I am asked to paint scenes, cottages, farmhouses, railway signal boxes and people's own homes. Whatever scene you have in mind, all I need is that crucial CLEAR photo and you will have a special and lasting gift.
Whether it is a pet portrait or painting of your own home you have in mind, don't leave it too late. I need about 4 weeks to complete your painting so order as soon as possible.
I can also create greeting , Christmas, birthday and anniversary cards from your pet dogs, cats, animals, your home, children etc; from your CLEAR photos. Details can be seen on the Greeting Card Page.
So, if you have no CLEAR photos, get clicking and send your favourite photo to me for that pet portrait painting. You will be delighted with the result.
Pet dogs, cats, animals or any child or adult can be painted into the scene, even if they were not in that particular photo. Many things are possible. If you have a special request, just ask. If it is possible it can be done.
I care very much about animal welfare. Our companion creatures such as dogs, cats and other animals, rely completely on the sympathetic consideration of their owners. Many dogs and cats etc; are greatly loved and cherished by their doting human families. They live out their lives in happiness and contentment, with all their needs, physical and emotional tended to with deep affection.
However, there are so many other poor animals, dogs, cats, horses, donkeys and others too numerous to mention, who live their lives under the dark shadow of fear, pain, cold and discomfort. Many are maimed or killed by callous, cruel or indifferent owners.
In this web of misery there are many little candles glowing in the darkness. These are the numerous animal rescue centres, some consisting of just one or two loving, compassionate human beings. Some of these wonderful, caring people devote the whole of their lives to alleviating the suffering of these dogs, cats and other oppressed animals. They live on a knife-edge, never knowing where the money for that sick pet just handed in to them, will come from. But, somehow, they carry on because of their love for these poor dogs, cats and so many other animals.
There are also those marvellous people who, for one reason or another, cannot take in the poor animals themselves but either work for these rescue centres for free or contribute towards the maintenance of the distressed animals in their care.
The welfare of this Earth's wild creatures is something I feel very passionately about. We have done so much harm to these fellow residents of our planet, who, of course, have as much right to exist as humanity. Wild animals, including the smallest insect have no less right to live out their natural lifespan as ourselves.
We should not attempt to turn their wild habitats into pretty parks for our enjoyment. Nature is wild and beautiful in its wildness. Wild animals need to be wild and free.
We cannot turn this, still beautiful, Earth into a controlled, barren environment for the convenience of just one of this world's creatures, ourselves. We can help these animals in many ways, such as not mowing every piece of wild meadow near our towns. No voles, hawks or butterflies can exist on a lawn. These animals need the shelter of tall grasses to hide in and to feed from. Where there are no hiding places, there are no wild creatures.
We should have much tougher laws against the pollution of our rivers and fields, and stricter laws to protect these pressured animals.
Imagine a world with only one creature, the human being. What a dreadful place that would be. We must all do our best to alleviate some of the harm man has done to this world and its animal inhabitants.
If you want a really unusual and special gift for a pet or animal lover for Christmas, Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Easter, Anniversaries, Retirements, Presentations or any other celebration, a portrait of a beloved pet is always a unique and very welcome gift. Whether it is a dog painting, cat painting, horse painting, wild animal painting, bird painting, child or adult human painting or a painting of someone's home and garden, it will bring delight and surprise to the recipient.
