Many thanks Claire for your fabulous portrait of our sprocker Inca. You captured her personality and features so well. It looks great framed, and was a genuine surprise to Ellen this Christmas. Wonderful work, thank you! IW Tewkesbury
M said that the picture of Moey was the best present that he had ever received. All our friends and family couldn't believe how good the portrait was. We are both exceptionally pleased with the service that you have provided and would have no hesitation in recommending you or using your services again in the future. VH Somerset
Thank you thank you thank you for making two people (at least!) very happy this Christmas! Yes – as anticipated, G is absolutely delighted with ‘Ruby’! She is currently leaning against the window in my living room surrounded by Christmas cards and candles..........a little shrine to a terrier!!! FB Glos
The portrait completely captured Raggy's character and personality, you can see instantly that it's him. Stunning! NS Worcs
The portrait that Claire produced of Holly was very much the star of the Christmas present giving. My partner was absolutely thrilled and insisted on showing it to Holly straight away. (Holly seemed less impressed, but then that's cocker spaniels for you ...) Claire captured Holly's expressive face beautifully and the picture has taken pride of place on our living room wall.

All family delighted with dog portraits and so am I. Thank you so much...now: the frame. Good luck with all the commissions, yrs Anna W. Hampshire
Sam's portrait has just returned from the framers and has taken pride of place in the house. We are still stunned at how well you have captured Sam's likeness and his character. It is such a beautiful keepsake to display in our home. Thank you so much, we will not hesitate to recommend you in the future. William is already wishing for his own dog so that he can return for another Sunday roast and tour of the studio! SG Wilts
I've just given Matt his pressie!! He loves it! He is amazed at the fine detail you've put in to it, like each individual hair and whisker and how you've made the eyes look so real! HE, St Albans
Just got back from a weekend of surprises for his birthday, took him away with friends and lived the high life for a couple of days but he said of the whole weekend the best bit was seeing your picture, he must have stared at it for about 20 minutes saying he could not believe that you captured everything about Molly in that picture, can't thank you enough for making his day. Thank you. K
I have received the painting and quite frankly I'm lost for words. It is simply beautiful and I couldn't have found a better person to produce such a fabulous memoir of Holly. Once again Claire, thank you so, so much. Helen
Have to say he was thrilled, he was moved to tears!! Now just need to decide where to put it, and how we want it framed. Can’t thank you enough, you are so clever, almost wish I’d got more animals so that you could do portraits!!! YB Worcs
A is absolutely thrilled with the painting of Sapphi and Ruby. Everyone who has seen it is ful of adminration for your skill and the way that you have captured the character of our two girls. Thank you so much. A was stunned and ovewhelmed. I got a fabulour powder blue frame which picked out the blue you have used on the mount and it looks gorgeous. A C-W Som
An emotional response from my husband when he saw his dear friend Max portrayed by Claire. Her talent with watercolour is exceptional. 100% attention to detail, including visiting the horse to see him for herself. A beautiful painting. Thank you. RM Wilts
Painting arrived safe and sound today! It's just gorgeous thank you so much, i have taken it to be framed this afternoon SH Staffs
Just a few words from my heart – I really can’t thank you enough for such a beautiful portrait of my canine family, you have captured their very essence especially my darling Kookie who has left us, it made me cry to see for the first time and I just can’t wait to put it on the wall – all of them together for all time, it’s just lovely, Thank you RT Cheshire, April 2010
Just a quick email to say thank you for painting such a wonderful picture of Walker – I gave it to my partner yesterday as part of her birthday present and she says that it is the best present that she has ever received so she is obviously as impressed with it as I am!! PS Sussex
Once again, we would just like to say that we are both immensely pleased with the portraits you have done of Harry and Biggles. The likenesses are spot-on, and the fine detail is just amazing. We shall be sure to recommend your talents to anyone thinking of commissioning portraits of their animals! S&L B
Just a quick note to say that we had my sister's birthday at the weekend and the picture of Nina was very well received. Lots of tears (as expected!) but she was absolutely thrilled! It is now hung in 'pride of place' in the hallway for all who enter to see. Thank you so much for such a beautiful picture; it's just perfect. CM
Would just like to say what a beautiful portrait you did of Harvey (my mud monster) - I think you saw in my post on the forum that it moved me to tears as it was so "him". LB
I received my picture yesterday. Thank you I love it, its so detailed and the colour is brilliant. Thank you so much I really appreciate all the effort you went to, to help me out. Thanks!! ST
Thank you so much for Sullivan's portrait. Sorry not to have sent an email before now but I didn’t pick up the painting until xmas eve and didn’t see it until xmas day. It is really lovely, very impressed with your accuracy. We are sure you will be truly famous one day. Sally
My husband commissioned Claire to paint our miniature Dacshund Lucy for my birthday. We were really impressed by the way Claire asked to meet Lucy and capture her personally on film. Claire ensured that we were happy with our choice of photo before she proceeded.
The portrait itself is absolutely amazing. Claire has captured both the look and character of Lucy in every detail. Her passion for the task comes through so clearly in her painting and we are all thrilled with the final picture. We would thoroughly recommend Claire to anyone who wants a professional, talented, caring artist to produce a lasting memory of their pet.
It is the best present I have ever had!
The picture has arrived……………it is so amazing; just awesome, thank you so very much for fitting us in: Helen will be over the moon with it! It is really is so very lifelike! DM
Kalli's picture has been much admired over the Christmas period - it is fantastic.
"Well what can I say - when he opened it he went very quiet and then became quite emotional – in fact it’s fair to say that he was completely overwhelmed by it! He loves it and cannot believe how well you’ve captured Bert... We will definitely be commissioning you to do a paint of Stanley when he gets a little older – he’s only 3 weeks old ...thanks for keeping in touch with me throughout this whole process, being a distance away didn’t cause any problems, you’ve been an absolute pleasure to use - I’m so glad I found you on the wonderful world wide web!" Louise, Lancaster
"Thank you for painting such a beautiful portrait - Harvey is very precious to me and you've captured him brilliantly." LB, Gloucestershire

Claire has done a portrait of my husband's dog for his 40th birthday which I received yesterday. I am absolutely delighted! I was positive that Claire would do an amazing portrait but couldn't quite believe how brilliant and life-like the picture would be. Not only is the portrait precision perfect but also incredibly somehow shows the character of the dog. A very talented lady and a pleasure to deal with!
"I recently had a portrait of one of my cats painted by Claire; and the detailed and sympathetic way she has captured his particular character is truly astonishing. The texture and colours of his coat are so finely and delicately achieved as to make him come alive on the canvas. As a pet artist Claire is unique." GB Chalford
“Dear Mrs. Stallard, Julie and Dick J gave us the most gorgeous gift; the portrait you painted of our dog Dodger.

The portrait will always have a place of honor in our home. Thank you so much.” Mary Anne and Rick Dobbis USA.
