You are unbelievably talented! I can't get over your ability to capture an animal's expression. I was beyond shocked, grateful and yes went into the ugly cry when I finally laid eyes on the portrait!

12 years ago Annie was a gift from my dad. Dad placed a tiny 6 week old chocolate puppy on my pillow in the middle of the night. The only time we have been a part is when I travel. She comes to work with me everyday, she is a wonderfully fun companion, and we share a great bond.

This portrait is particularly timely and special to me because I have gone through the process of excepting that at 12 years old, realistically Annie's fate will come all to soon. I make certain that everyday is a great day, and the two of us live it like it could be her last. She is the first to get a good morning and the last to get a good night, she licks my plate after every meal, and basically runs our home.

Annie's portrait is timeless and I thank you for that. When I look at it, I don't see a young or an ageing dog, she is ageless, her bright eyes and fun spirit are the focal point. You have captured Annie's essence and how I always want to see her.

Thank you.
