Follow up commissions…

I’m very pleased to say I have an increasing number of clients returning to have additional portraits done – either of the same animal at different ages or from new angles, and also for other members of the family who’ve been impressed by my work. Take a look at Roxy, Kizzy & Leo, Harvey & Melody or Rusty 1 & 2 & Hamish for examples – see Dogs & Cats. Great to have new customers too though, so please get in touch!

Thanks especially to those of you who have followed up with me, and booked your pet portrait in time for Christmas – I’m sure you’ll be overjoyed with your unique watercolour painting – it’s not as if you can get this very special present from any high street store, is it!

Great to be involved in the excellent Wolfspeak day event at Wester Kilmany Farm last weekend. Many thanks to Paul Connolly and all the staff – a great social occasion bathed in summer sunshine!
