Working with a client to achieve a realistic painting of their treasured pet is my life's ambition!
Please take a moment to read what a few of my client's have to say about their Pet's portraits-
Hi Barb!
Just wanted to tell you how much I love, love, love my portrait of Duke. It is so true to life that I swear I can hear him panting!
I have your portrait hung right opposite my front door - so that it is the very first thing that my visitors see.
Your talent is amazing.
Best wishes to you and your artistic talents,

OMG Barb! When I first opened the email and saw the Girl's portrait I thought I was looking right at them! You did an amazing job of capturing both of them!

Barbara,
"Just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying the amazing portrait you did of our sweet Emma. She was an amazing, sweet girl and we will miss her forever. Our grief has been unbearable, but your fantastic likeness of her has reminded us that she is certainly still with us. Thank you so much for all your time in helping us through this awful loss for our family. The portrait is now hanging in our Living Room, on the wall next to the area she used to love to lounge in the afternoons. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it will be treasured always.
We will surely recommend you and your work to our friends and other animal lovers!"

"It arrived!!!!! I thought that the photo you emailed of the painting was fantastic, but now seeing the original, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!! I am speechless! Your talent in capturing Rascal's expression and his awesome nature is right on! I can't stop looking at the portrait, it is so very lifelike.
Rachel was floored! And then she cried tears of Joy! Best Anniversary present I ever gave her.
Thank you for all your help in my decisions as to what medium and size, you were exactly right. His coloring is perfect. And his eyes just melt my heart! Thank you!!!!! Awesome work!"
We will contact your shortly to do a portrait of our fabulous Strap in the near future. We are so glad to have found you".

"It is absolutely beautiful! I am telling all my horse friends about this painting you did of my Leopard Appy! I know how difficult it must have been with the poor quality photos I had, but you did it! You captured Sterling perfectly! His eyes, his coloring, even that funny quirky patch on his rump. It's perfect and I am still crying. He was a very special, beautiful horse, and you have brought him right back to me. Thanks Barb, you're amazing. Your talent speaks for itself, but I will definately let others know at our next club meeting. Best to you and keep in touch".
