He gives it a high paws up! I know J will be thrilled too when he
opens it up on his birthday. thank you from the bottom of my heart
forcapturing the essence of my little puppy weimaraner. I will cherish
it.

Dear
Justine,
The painting is brilliant I can't stop looking at the eyes ! You've
managed to capture that sad sulky look of his which is quite intense.
My husband will be thrilled and I'm so excited at the prospect of
giving it to him.

As you know, my husband arranged the painting of Jasper as a surprise
birthday present last November and I was overjoyed when I received
it.
Now the painting is shown on your website, I have been able to use
it as the wallpaper on my computer desktop, so not only can I see
the original when I go home but I can look at the wonderful character
captured in your
painting at any time of the day.
Many thanks, Owner of Jasper Weimaraner UK

The
picture is better than I could have ever hoped for - truly fantastic.

Justine, just a quick note to say thankyou for painting such a wonderful
painting of Edith. He was absolutely delighted with it. It was a complete
surprise for him, and he is already saying that it is one of his most
treasured possessions. You have captured her expression perfectly

Justine,
thank you so much for the 2 paintings of Toby. The painting of him
running in the grass is so full of life and makes me feel happy
and energised. 'Toby's tail' is calming and gorgeous. People always
comment on its beauty and natural appeal. I think quite a few of
my clients have contacted you about their dogs and you'll soon get
a job from Sweden too! I can't thank you enough. Lots of love, Caz/Toby

Your
wonderful Alfie painting arrived this morning. It is fantastic. You
have managed to capture him beautifully. He is, as you can tell, a
curl up in front of the fire, cuddly family pet and that is exactly
how you have painted him. Your painting will be treasured here and
enjoyed for a long, long time. We will happily pass the word about
your talent to all our dog owning friends!!

it this morning. I have to say, it is absolutely fabulous and so much
so that even though they are not my dogs I would have liked the painting
myself!! I love to look on your website frequently to see all the
new paintings - they are all amazing.

her perfectly. I still miss her dreadfully and can't wait to hang
the painting on the wall. Just to let you know that the painting is

They really capture both how Fearn looked and her personality - they're
something we'll always be able to look at and remember exactly how
she was, so thank you. Thanks again.

Dear
Justine, I don't know what to say, it's even better than I hoped it
would be. You've caught Ollie brilliantly. I'm at work at the moment
and I've just had to ask my whole team to come and look at the jpg
as it's so good. (One girl says can you do her rabbit, but I did point
out the name of your business to her!) Thank you very much for all
your hard work, I can't wait to see my mum's face when she unwraps
this on her birthday.

Thanks
for the portrait of Ace. I think the small sized painting gives such
an amazing impression. We were all so delighted to see how much of
Ace's character the painting shows. Thank you again for another superb
painting. Andrew will love his painting of Ace. It's such a pity we
don't have any more dogs in the family for you to paint! I may ask
you do paint a mini painting of Mack in the future though. Thank you
