Dear Julia,
We have recieved the portrait of Sebastian, Thankyou very much it looks fantastic!!
I can't believe how amazing the portrait looks. You have captured him perfectly!
The gray hairs under his chin and his feet, eyebrow whiskers and the gray under fur are all perfect. Even his broad nose is spot on.
Thanks once again for your wonderful work.

Hi Julia
....let you know that the pic looks great! I love it! Seb was very surprised and loved the painting. He immediately said how much it looked like him- he said it reminds him of when Spencer sits on his rug staring at us on the couch- waiting for an invite!
Thank you so much- now we are thinking about one of our other dog- and my horses!
Cheers,

Hi Julia
I have just seen my darling Jessie and I'm absolutely thrilled beyond belief. This is my baby girl,
through and through. It is stunning Julia, made me very emotional...you have totally captured her
beautifully and I feel like I am definitely looking at the beloved Jessie I knew and loved so
very much. Thank you! I couldn't be happier with it. You are wonderful at what you do. I am so
grateful for your wonderful talent in helping to keep alive the memory of Jessie. I miss my little
girl so much, but this portrait of her helps to lessen some of the pain. It is a beautiful
accompaniment to Ossie's picture, so very special to have them both now. Thank you so much again Julia, I'm over the moon.
Warm regards

 Hello Julia
I have just seen the portrait and my heart is beating and I have a lump in my throat, you have captured my
beautiful Missi in every way, her eyes, tail, her little cocked ear and her beautiful coat, everything is
perfect ! THANK YOU it is so real I can almost touch her. I am going to love walking in my lounge everyday
to see her up on our wall. Thanks again
Best wishes

Hi Julia,
I got Ossie's portrait today and I couldn't be more thrilled! It is incredible!!! You have done such a terrific job, it is like I'm looking at a photo of Ossie, only better. I love looking at Ossie everytime I go in to my bedroom. It brings tears to my eyes to see him looking so beautiful. It is such a relief to have received the portrait of my dreams, with every aspect just as I could have hoped. Thank you so much again Julia for capturing the gentle angelicness that made Ossie so irreplaceable. I have no doubt that I will be calling on you again one day to paint the portrait of my darling Jessie.
Warm regards

 Dear Julia
What can I say that has not already been said by your other satisfied customers?
Your painting is the most beautiful thing I've seen. Thank you. I can't stop looking at it, she looks so beautiful. The background colour is exactly right.... And I bet my son will want his dog, Loki painted!
I guess a heartfelt thank you for such a beautiful pastel of Sally. I am so pleased I found you on the internet and took the plunge to have Sally perpetuated.
Thank you,

 Oh Julia!
Thank you! I almost cried when I saw that final draft. Greta is sooooooo Greta...you have captured our "Grand Old Duchess". People that I have shown the photo to are totally drawn to Freya's eyes. When a friend described Freya she described her as a Malamute with a "huge marshmellowy heart" and you have sure captured that in her eyes. People are totally entranced by her. And Loki is just stunningly represented as our 'little man'. Thank you. I'll pop a photo of the picture on the forum board and my website with links to you - I'm sure when my friends see the portrait they will be considering having their darlings done

 Hey Julia
It looks fantastic! Kate and Iain loved the picture and they don't think that any changes need to be made at all. We are going to get it framed shortly and take it up to them. Thank you once again, I think it is a beautiful gift to give to someone and I have passed on your webpage to a few people at work who are interested in getting a portrait done. We have a 15 month old golden retriever and we will definitely be getting a portrait of her done soon!!!
Thank you once again,

I just love the portrait, it looks more like him [the horse] than in the original photo! James was so surprised and touched with the portrait. We will frame his saddle blanket from the Caulfield Cup and hang it next to the portrait. I'm sure many of his jockey friends will want portraits too!. Thanks again.

 Hi Julia!
Thanks so much for the painting. The painting is already up in a great place! It's by the stairs and Michelle points at it every time we go up or down, so you see it´s a really good painting (not only for us)
when a 15 month old girl recognises her dog, points and says Tai! (That´s her way she says Tiny)
Take Care & once again THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you´re great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
