Below please find feedback from some of the customers for whom I've completed commissioned portraits.
"Marie did 2 portraits of my 2 terriers which were excellent. They look so real, both are getting on in years but she was able to create a true likeness of each of them even down to their grey muzzles. Highly recommended." Mrs B Stout, Co. Durham (portraits of Kizzy & Jilly) "Marie produced a portrait of my two cats from a selection of photos and the way she captured their true likeness and all the subtle markings was incredible. The framed picture held pride of place in our bedroom until we moved abroad and it is one of the few personal belongings to come with us. Highly recommended. " Dave Morley, Newcastle-upon-Tyne "Marie has done portraits of both my English Springer Spaniels, and they are truly magnificent. Since having them done, I've looked at other pet portrait artists at various Game fairs, etc and I can honestly say that the portraits Marie has done are far superior to any others I've seen." Stephen Hall, Barnard Castle, Co. Durham (portrait of Moss) "Marie's portrait of Robbie was drawn from a photograph we had taken a few years before he died. She has drawn him perfectly! The likeness is unbelievable - she's brought him back to life for us. The detail in her drawings is superb, I cannot praise her enough. Thank you so much. I have no hesitation in recommending Marie to other pet owners." Mrs J Arnold, Co. Durham (portrait of Robbie) "I asked Marie to do a portrait of my Boxer dog, Ellie, who we sadly lost at Easter. I thought that Marie may struggle with the photographs I had sent her. When I got the portrait I could not believe the true likeness and how much the picture resembled my beloved Boxer dog. I was moved to tears as the portrait looked so real. I feel like I have Ellie back watching over me and would like to thank Marie so much for all the work that went into it. I am going to tell the world about her work! " Mrs J Shaw, Co. Durham (portrait of Ellie) "Marie has drawn a super picture of Zak and caught his personality perfectly. We lost him a couple of years ago at the age of 17 and Marie managed to work with not the best of photos of when he was younger. We now have two young labradors and I will be asking Marie to draw them when they are a little older. " Mr J Keighley, Co. Durham (portrait of Zak)
"James didn't believe it was a drawn portrait, he thinks it's very good!" "Fantastic, brilliant, very good likeness to photo - are other comments". One person said "Jesus Christ that's really good!!". They all think he's very sweet." Mrs A Pearson, Co. Durham (portrait of Sam) "Marie did a portrait of our dog Archie it was outstanding, the likeness was unbelievable. Thank you for a wonderful keepsake. We highly recommend Marie to everybody. Once again thank you very much . " Joanne & Adam , Co. Durham (portrait of Archie) Just to say many thanks for the brilliant job you did on Rebel -
everyone who's seen it thinks its lovely and catches his likeness
exactly - hopefully you'll get some extra commissions from our
friends. Paul & Carole Russel , Co. Durham (portrait of Rebel) My family commissioned a portrait of Sonny as a surprise for my 50th Birthday. When I saw the completed drawing I just could not believe the likeness, it is so detailed and his personality really shows too. I want to thank Marie for creating such a wonderful keepsake. I will definitely be recommending her to family and friends. Kathleen Tennick, Co. Durham (portrait of Sonny) Marie was commisioned by my wife to draw my four dogs 2 past 2 present (Tia, Tess, Rigger and Gypsy) as a surprise present for Christmas. What a great present it turned out to be, the likeness of the drawing of the four dogs to the actual dogs is stunning, she has even captured the character of the dogs. Thank you for a wonderful keepsake which I will always cherish. I would highly recommend Marie and will be using Marie's skills again myself. Roy Hillery, Co. Durham (portrait of 4 Dogs - Tia, Tess, Rigger & Gypsy) The portrait that you have done of our Welsh Cobb Stallion, Brynithon Royal Knight is brilliant. It was done as a surprise Christmas present and it was a surprise, it was like looking at Knight in the flesh! I will definitely have some more portraits done by you and I will recommend you to friends and family. Carl Nee, North Yorkshire (portrait of Brynithon Royal Knight) "Marie captured Crystal totally in her portrait. It is awesome!!!! Waited a long time to find someone who could draw a portrait like that - thank you Marie.....you are truly gifted" Liz & Lynda Templeton, Scotland (portrait of Crystal) "Marie recently finished a drawing of our dear little Suki, a whippet x greyhound. We had to make the devastating decision to have her put down in February, & my mum was distraught so the drawing was a gift for her, and Marie took it on with real sincerity and understanding of how special this little dog was to my mum. When I received the finished piece, I was in tears! But I thought she looked fantastic. I couldn't believe how perfect it was, even down to the little spots on Suki's legs, Marie had got her "spot on" quite literally! On my mum's birthday, she could barely hold back the tears when she opened up the box and saw Suki basking on the sofa, as she always was! My mum was completely overwhelmed but absolutely delighted with it - she will treasure it forever. I would not hesitate to recommend Marie!" Sue Pooley, Hampshire (portrait of Suki) "This pet portrait was commissioned as a birthday present and it was one of the best gifts I have ever had! Bronson was brought into our family 3 years ago as a rescue dog and we could not believe our luck at getting such a handsome chap with a divine nature - qualities which are captured so beautifully by Marie. Already recommending this talented lady to friends and family alike. " Anne Anderson, Montrose, Scotland (portrait of Bronson) "Thanks for drawing such a beautiful picture of my puppy Bailey. I cant believe how well she has been drawn from the picture you were given. Also thanks for adding in all the background, I know this must have taken you quite a while to do, with all the different colours etc. I'm looking forward to framing it and putting it up in the living room. Everybody that I've shown it to loves it and can't believe the likeness.. " Michelle Lampey, Essex (portrait of Bailey)
