"My wife and I have asked Julie to produce portraits of our three dogs, each dog very different both physically and as individuals. Each a challenge in their own way. Not only has Julie produced an outstanding likeness of each dog she has achieved something rather rare, she has captured not only their character but also the very essence of each of them. These really are living portraits, lasting memories and all quite unforgettable. Thank you Julie, your portraits really are splendid."

Mike and Val S (France)


"Julie has surpassed herself with this one. The accuracy and attention to detail, on an unusual and difficult subject, is amazing. I'm suitably impressed!"

(Rod C)


"We are delighted with our new picture. Its really lovely and so very much like our Robbie. We do notice these days that he is getting older and so it makes it very precious to us that we have such a lifelike painting!"

John and Anne P. (Keighley, West Yorkshire)


"Each dog's visage is captured brilliantly, the colours exactly as when basking in the sun. Their temperaments show through - Henry's slightly sad demeanour, his lowered ears and untidy moustache being as characteristic as George's half-opened mouth and confidence."


"We are absolutely delighted with our portrait of Heidi and would not have thought it possible to achieve such a perfect likeness. Congratulations on your achievement. Your work of art is already a family treasure."

(Paul and Mavis from Brundall Norfolk)


"Julie... I just can't find words (only joyous tears!) to tell you how pleased I am with Rudi's portrait. You have not only captured accurately and precisely every last hair on his body, but somehow you have captured his spirit! His laid back nature, but with a spark of mischief and fun just ouse from the painting. He is a delight that I shall be proud of displaying in my home, and, no doubt be a wonderful memory of him long after he is gone. Many thanks.... "

(Hilda from Brundall Norfolk)



"Thank you so much for my wonderful portrait of Sam. I have thought long and hard of how best to express my feelings and this is truly how I feel. Thank you so much. This Is my Sam. Whenever I look at him as I come through the door I feel great comfort. "

(Margaret G from Brundall Norfolk)

"Dear Julie, Nigel was absolutely ‘over the moon’ with Max’s portrait. I couldn’t have wished for him to be more pleased or surprised. Thank you. "

(Tracey from Waveney River Centre, Suffolk)
