Communication and regular updates during the commission were excellent, and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of having their pet portrait done."
'Phoebe, Otto and Purdey' Triple Whippet Colour Pencil Portrait 16x20"
"At LAST I can "like" and comment on your posts and photos relating to this wonderful, exceptional portrait. I haven't dared do so over the last few weeks in case it popped up on my page and Naomi twigged what I was getting!
Thank you so much, Caroline - Naomi's face was a wonder to behold as she opened it up. She had to fight back tears! This is superb - you've captured the likenesses perfectly and this will grace our home forever. You are a real talent.
And thank you so much for the frequent updates, and constant checking back with me. It made it all very special and made me feel as though I had contributed in some small way to this masterpiece. I loved finally being able to point Naomi to this page so that she could also see its development. You're a star. You've made a special day wonderful. Thank you!" - Andy, UK
